The AirTAC Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI32X500SCM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 500mm 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, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder is built for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks this as AirTAC's battery-dedicated variant of the MI32X500SCM, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but designated for cell, module and pack assembly tasks. Its stainless-steel barrel and piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdowns better than painted alternatives.
The 500 mm stroke operates at 30-800 mm/s, relying on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the impact at stroke ends. Because it yields about 241 N of safe working load at 0.5 MPa, it can vertically lift roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The integrated -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches, while the CM round end cover handles rear porting.

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.

| 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.

| -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 (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Provides the 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa needed to align and press lithium-ion battery cells during automated stacking operations over its 500 mm travel.
Vertically lifts battery modules weighing up to 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin, using its integrated magnet for CMSG position sensing.
Routes battery packs along assembly lines via the 1/4" port, using fixed TPU bumpers to absorb end-of-stroke impacts without adjustable cushioning.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: a 25 mm bore gives 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 40 mm bore jumps to 628.3 N. Choose this 500 mm stroke model when you need long travel for battery stacking or tab handling, but ensure your guiding structure handles side loads to prevent rod bending over that distance. Air connects via a 1/4" port, and the male rod thread is M10x1.25.
Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centres—the fixed bumpers only soften the stroke end and act neither as a lock nor a brake. To hold a vertical load securely during an air failure, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The CM round end cover offers flexible rear mounting for your battery line fixtures.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the MI32X500SCM. It is mechanically identical to the standard model, retaining the stainless-steel round-body build, -S magnet for sensors, and CM round end cover, without any changes to dimensions or performance.
