About the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI16X300SU
Designed specifically for battery manufacturing lines, the AirTAC B06-MI16X300SU is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the standard MI16X300SU, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model. It features a 16 mm bore, a 300 mm stroke, and a 1/8" port, delivering a push force of 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod provide excellent resistance to mild corrosion and washdown, which is a real advantage over painted-steel alternatives in damp production environments.
Because it falls within the Ø8-Ø25 range, this cylinder uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping easily into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. The riveted round body is compact, and fixed TPU bumper pads at both ends decelerate the piston at stroke extremes. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 60 N at 0.5 MPa, or roughly 5.1 kg of vertical lifting capacity with a 2:1 safety margin. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation, and the built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches.

Where the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI16X300SU Is Used
Cell Stacking Presses
Provides the 100.5 N push force at 0.5 MPa needed to align and press lithium-ion pouch cells during automated stacking, utilizing the 300 mm stroke for wide format handling.
Module Transfer Gates
Routes battery modules along assembly conveyors with a 90-degree U back cover port, easily mounting via ISO 6432 brackets into existing tight battery line footprints.
Tab Welding Clamps
Holds battery tabs firmly in position for laser welding, where the stainless-steel construction prevents corrosion in humid clean-room environments.
Is the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI16X300SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, compare it directly with its neighbours: a 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 20 mm bore provides 157.0 N. This makes the 16 mm an ideal middle ground for moderate actuation tasks like cell stacking or tab handling. Because this unit features a long 300 mm stroke, be mindful of side loads and rod-bending moments—ensure the load is guided to prevent premature seal wear. The U back cover orients the air port at 90 degrees, which helps with tight manifold routing in battery module assembly fixtures.
A standard pneumatic cylinder like this does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the rod will drift. The fixed TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and do not act as a brake. If your battery-pack handling process requires a locked position during an emergency stop, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into the system.
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-MI16X300SU FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder delivers a push force of 100.5 N and a pull force of 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push is 140.7 N and the pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 1/8" port, a 300 mm stroke, an M6x1.0 male rod thread, and operates at speeds between 30-800 mm/s.
The B06- prefix designates this cylinder as part of AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line; it is mechanically identical to the standard MI16X300SU. It features a stainless-steel riveted round body and fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end. It does not hold a load if air is lost—the piston drifts—so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for vertical load holding.
