About the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI16X30U
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC B06-MI16X30U is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the MI16X30U, mechanically identical to the base model with a 16 mm bore and 30 mm stroke. Its stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdowns better than painted alternatives, while the ISO 6432 mounting interface drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets.
Equipped with a 90-degree U back cover and an M5×0.8 port, it integrates easily into tight cell-handling fixtures. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impacts, though this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG or DMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI16X30U Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Pushes lithium prismatic cells into alignment jigs using the 100.5 N output, ensuring precise layer formation without damaging delicate casings.
Module Tab Welding
Clamps busbars and tabs firmly in place during ultrasonic welding operations, utilizing the 30 mm stroke for rapid open-and-close cycles.
Pack Diverting
Actuates a 90-degree routing gate via the U back cover to sort battery packs on a conveyor line, handling loads safely within its 5.1 kg vertical limit.
Is the Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI16X30U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, compare it against the 12 mm bore (56.5 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter tabbing tasks, or step up to the 20 mm bore (157.0 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need to shift heavier battery modules. This 30 mm stroke keeps the rod compact, minimizing side-load bending risks during rapid cycling. The U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree mounting option for pivoting mechanisms.
Because this is a double-acting cylinder, air drives both the extend and retract strokes. Remember that a standard MI does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. For vertical module lifting that must remain suspended, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Without the -S suffix, this specific unit cannot accept position sensors.
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-MI16X30U FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B06- prefix designates this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line of the MI16X30U, meaning it shares the exact same stainless-steel riveted construction, fixed TPU bumpers, and ISO 6432 dimensions. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you would need the -S variant for position sensing.
