About the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI12X60SCA
The B06- prefix on this AirTAC SKU designates a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the MI12X60SCA, mechanically identical to the standard mini cylinder for cell and module assembly lines. Built as a double-acting round-body actuator with a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod, it handles mild washdowns better than painted alternatives. It pushes with 56.5 N and pulls with 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa.
Featuring a 12 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, this riveted cylinder uses an M5x0.8 port and a male M6x1.0 rod thread. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end.

Where the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI12X60SCA Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Ideal for prismatic cell stacking machines, providing the precise 56.5 N push force at 0.5 MPa needed to align and press lithium cells without damaging the thin casings.
Module Tab Welding
Clamps busbars and module tabs securely during laser welding operations, using its 60 mm stroke to position copper connectors with repeatable accuracy.
Pack Handling Diverter
Acts as a lightweight diverter arm on conveyor lines transporting battery packs, where the stainless steel construction resists humidity in controlled environment cleanrooms.
Is the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI12X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 12 mm bore actuator, compare it against neighbouring bores: the 10 mm version yields 39.3 N of push force, while the 16 mm jumps to 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This model fits neatly for light battery-tab routing or stacking tasks. Because the standard base cylinder vents freely, the piston will drift if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and act as neither a lock nor a brake. Use an external pilot check valve if you must hold a load mid-stroke.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for electronic or reed sensors and features a CA rear pivot cover for clevis mounting. You can also utilize LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block or TC trunnion brackets via its ISO 6432 mounting dimensions. At a 60 mm stroke, side-load stress on the 6 mm rod is minimal, but always ensure the load travels parallel to the cylinder axis to prevent premature seal wear.
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-MI12X60SCA FAQ
This 12 mm bore cylinder features an M5x0.8 port and a male M6x1.0 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 the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the MI12X60SCA; it shares identical specifications and physical dimensions with the base model. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate at the stroke end, not an adjustable air cushion. The -S suffix denotes an integrated magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
