Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI12X50SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI12X50SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 50mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.

About the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI12X50SCA
Delivering 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC B06-MI12X50SCA is a stainless-steel, double-acting round-body mini cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-dedicated variant of the MI12X50SCA, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but curated for cell stacking and module handling tasks. Its 12 mm bore, 6 mm rod, and M5x0.8 port keep the footprint compact, while the fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impacts to protect delicate battery components.
The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown chemicals better than standard painted-aluminium minis. Because the bore falls within the Ø8-Ø25 range, it uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. For practical sizing, plan for about 34 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches for precise end-of-stroke detection.

Where the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI12X50SCA Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides the precise 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa needed to align and press prismatic battery cells into modules without deforming the delicate casings.
Tab Welding Clamp
Uses the CA pivot clevis to maintain angular alignment while holding battery tabs at 34 N of safe working load during automated laser welding operations.
Module Diverting
Actuates routing gates on conveyor lines, relying on the stainless-steel construction to withstand washdowns in battery-pack assembly environments.
Is the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI12X50SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 12 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbours: the 10 mm bore yields 39.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the 16 mm bore provides 100.5 N. Choose this 12 mm option when your battery-tab welding or cell-sorting mechanism requires around 56.5 N of extension force without the bulk of a 16 mm body. The included CA back cover provides a pivot/clevis mount, ideal for accommodating slight angular misalignment in assembly tooling. You can also utilise LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centred, as the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and act as neither a lock nor a brake. If your battery-handling process requires strict position holding on air loss, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. With a 50 mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending stress remain low, but ensure the front pivot is aligned to maximise seal life.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI12X50SCA FAQ
This 12 mm bore cylinder features an M5x0.8 port and a 6 mm rod. 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 indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the MI12X50SCA, sharing identical specifications. It includes a -S magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. It cannot hold a load unpowered; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical holding.
