The AirTAC Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI32X175U is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder is purpose-built for battery manufacturing lines. The leading "B06-" prefix designates it as AirTAC's battery-dedicated variant of the MI32X175U, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but curated for cell, module, and pack assembly tasks. Its stainless-steel barrel and piston rod provide reliable mild corrosion resistance, performing better in damp washdown environments than painted alternatives. A 1/8" port feeds the 32 mm bore, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact.
The U-style back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight battery-module tooling layouts. Note that because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept magnetic position sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. Note: the Ø32 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

| ×175 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (double rod, adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Applies the 402.2 N push force to align and press prismatic battery cells into tight modules, using the 175 mm stroke to accommodate varying pack heights.
Clamps battery tabs securely during ultrasonic welding operations, where the stainless-steel construction resists corrosion from ambient humidity.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbours: a 25 mm bore yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. This model fits mid-range tasks like tab welding or cell handling where 402.2 N is sufficient. If your battery line requires position feedback, you must select the -S magnet version to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, as this base SKU has no magnet. For mounting flexibility beyond the 90-degree U back cover, AirTAC provides LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion accessories.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or the valve is centered, as the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. If your battery-pack handling process must hold a vertical load safely during an emergency stop, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. With a 175 mm stroke, ensure your guiding structure prevents rod bending and side-load friction to maximize seal life.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B06- prefix marks this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the MI32X175U, sharing identical physical specs with the base model. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic sensors; you must order the -S version for position feedback.
