The AirTAC Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI32X450SCM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 450mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the B06-MI32X450SCM is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for battery-manufacturing lines. The leading B06- prefix designates this as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the MI32X450SCM, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model. Its stainless-steel barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdowns better than painted alternatives. A 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread handle the air and mounting demands of cell stacking or pack assembly. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impacts, while the built-in magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.
For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 241 N rather than the absolute maximum. This translates to lifting roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, making it highly effective for shifting heavy battery modules. The CM round end back cover simplifies rear mounting in compact assembly fixtures. Operating between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, this unit runs at speeds of 30-800 mm/s without adjustable air cushions.

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.
Lifts and positions battery modules weighing up to 20.5 kg vertically on automated pack assembly lines using its 402.2 N push force.
Drives the 450 mm stroke to push lithium-ion cell arrays into stacking trays during electrode assembly processes.
Clamps battery tabs securely under pressure prior to ultrasonic welding, using the CM round end cover for stable rear pivoting.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the next size down is the 25 mm bore delivering 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm model when your battery-handling fixture requires that middle-ground force to move components weighing around 20 kg. The 450 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit, though at this length you should watch for rod side-loading and bending to prevent premature seal wear. Because the B06- prefix only denotes an industry designation, all physical specifications remain identical to the MI32X450SCM.
The included -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic and reed switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a lock. For vertical battery-pack lifting, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold the load securely.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.2 N and the pull force is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 1/4" port, operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, and has a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The B06- prefix simply marks this as a cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing lines; it is mechanically identical to the MI32X450SCM. It does not have an adjustable air cushion. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate at the stroke end. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for position detection.
