The AirTAC Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI25X250U is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 250mm stroke, 1/8" 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.
Designed specifically for battery manufacturing lines, the B06-MI25X250U is AirTAC's dedicated variant of the MI25X250U, mechanically identical to the base model. The leading "B06-" prefix simply marks it for cell, module, and pack assembly duties. As a double-acting round-body mini cylinder, it features a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod that resist mild corrosion and washdown, offering a real edge over painted alternatives in damp production areas.
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it provides a safe working load of about 147 N for real-world tasks, which translates to lifting roughly 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/8" port drives the 10 mm rod, while the U-style back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight battery handling machinery. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end to protect tooling.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Drives the precision stacking mechanism for lithium-ion battery cells, utilizing the 245.3 N push force to align delicate layers without crushing them.
Pushes assembled battery modules onto transfer conveyors, where the 90-degree U back cover allows pneumatic hoses to route cleanly along the machine frame.
Clamps battery tabs during ultrasonic welding operations, relying on the stainless steel construction to withstand occasional spark splatter and ambient humidity.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, compare it directly with its neighbors: a 20 mm bore yields 157.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 32 mm bore provides 402.2 N. Choose this 25 mm model when your battery stacking or handling mechanism requires that specific 245.3 N output. The 250 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke limit, but at this length you must carefully manage side loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors; add the -S variant if your battery line requires end-of-stroke detection. Furthermore, a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, so for vertical battery cell lifts that must hold position, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve rather than relying on the bumper pads.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" air port and a 10 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. It generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B06- prefix designates this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the MI25X250U; it shares the exact same physical specs and stainless steel riveted construction. Because the 25 mm bore falls within the Ø8-Ø25 range, it uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, allowing it to drop directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets, foot mounts (LB), and trunnions (TC).
