About the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI16X10SCA
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder is purpose-built for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as AirTAC's battery-dedicated variant of the MI16X10SCA, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but designated for cell, module and pack assembly tasks. Its 10 mm stroke and 1/8 inch port provide rapid, short linear motion in tight machine cells.
The riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdowns better than painted alternatives. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact, while the built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors. Plan for roughly 60 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI16X10SCA Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides the precise 10 mm clamping motion for lithium-ion cell stacking machines, using its 100.5 N push to align pouch cells securely.
Module Tab Welding
Drives short-stroke copper tab welding electrodes in battery module assembly, benefiting from the stainless build to resist conductive dust.
Pack Diverting
Actuates small diverters on battery pack conveyor lines, where the CA pivot clevis accommodates the slight angular shifts during routing.
Is the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI16X10SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, dropping down to the Ø12 MI yields 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø20 MI provides 157.0 N. This 100.5 N class fits perfectly for medium-duty battery tabbing or cell handling. The CA pivot back cover suits articulated clevis mounts, and the -S magnet enables position sensing.
Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and act as neither a lock nor a brake. For suspended loads on a stacking line, specify an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The 10 mm stroke minimizes rod bending, but ensure side loads remain minimal.
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-MI16X10SCA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch air port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B06- prefix simply designates this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the MI16X10SCA, with no mechanical changes to the base cylinder. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate at the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion, and its ISO 6432 mounting interface fits standard mini-cylinder brackets.
