The AirTAC Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI12X200SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 200mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface fits standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interfaces.
Delivering 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder is built for battery manufacturing lines. The leading "B06-" prefix designates it as AirTAC's battery-dedicated variant of the MI12X200SU, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but earmarked for cell and module assembly. Its 12 mm bore, 6 mm rod, and 200 mm stroke provide the extended reach needed for tabbing or cell handling, while the M5x0.8 port keeps air consumption low.
The stainless-steel barrel and rod naturally resist the mild corrosion and washdown conditions found in cleanroom battery fabrication. Integrated fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston at stroke ends, and the built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position confirmation.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (double rod, adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Drives the extended 200 mm linear movement required to layer prismatic battery cells accurately during automated module stacking processes.
Actuates a 90-degree diverting gate on a conveyor line, using its U-type rear cover and stainless body to withstand humid cleanroom washdowns.
When sizing this 12 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbours: the 10 mm bore yields 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the 16 mm bore steps up to 100.5 N, giving you room to scale if your battery-stacking payload changes. This SKU features a U-type back cover for 90-degree port orientation, which helps route hoses cleanly in dense pack-assembly machinery. Because the stroke is 200 mm, be mindful of rod bending under side loads—use a guide to prevent premature seal wear.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and do not act as a brake. To hold a vertical cell-stack weight securely during an air loss event, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
Quick checklist
This 12 mm bore cylinder features an M5x0.8 air port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It generates 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 79.1 N push and 59.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B06- prefix simply marks this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the MI12X200SU; it shares the exact same stainless-steel riveted round-body construction, ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, and fixed TPU bumpers. It cannot hold a load vertically on its own—if air is lost, the piston will drift, so you must add a pilot check valve or external rod lock for safety.
