The AirTAC Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI40X25SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC B06-MI40X25SU is a robust 40 mm bore, double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the MI40X25SU, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but earmarked for cell, module and pack assembly tasks. Its stainless-steel barrel and piston rod provide a real edge over painted alternatives, resisting mild corrosion and washdown in damp production environments. A 1/4" port feeds the 16 mm rod, and the U back cover provides a 90-degree port and mounting orientation for tight machine layouts.
Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes, decelerating the motion without offering adjustable cushioning. Because it carries the -S suffix, this unit includes a piston magnet for direct switching via CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

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 628.3 N push force needed to press and align lithium-ion prismatic cells tightly during module stacking operations.
Holds battery tabs firmly in place under 0.5 MPa pressure for automated laser welding, utilizing the 90-degree U cover for compact robotic cell integration.
Actuates heavy pack-routing gates on conveyor lines, where the stainless-steel construction withstands occasional coolant and washdown spray.
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, note that stepping down to a 32 mm cylinder drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while this 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. As the largest standard round-body mini cylinder size, there is no larger MI bore available. The 25 mm stroke keeps the rod compact and minimizes side-load bending moments, but always ensure the load is axially aligned to prevent guide wear. The U back cover suits 90-degree mounting arrangements.
Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is removed or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU pads only soften the end of stroke and act as neither a lock nor a brake. If your battery-handling fixture must hold a vertical load during an air loss event, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Position detection is fully supported via CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches thanks to the integrated -S magnet.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B06- prefix simply marks this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the MI40X25SU, with no mechanical changes to the stainless-steel riveted construction or fixed TPU bumpers. It does not feature a load lock; the piston will drift if air is lost, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for vertical holding.
