About the Airtac B06-MIC Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MIC16X20SU
The B06-MIC16X20SU is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated version of the MIC16X20SU round-body mini cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it for cell and module assembly lines, while the mechanics remain identical to the standard MIC16X20SU. It delivers 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The defining feature is the adjustable air cushion at both ends - a needle valve that decelerates the piston near stroke end, protecting delicate battery components from shock at speeds up to 800 mm/s. The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion from occasional washdowns. With the -S magnet, it accepts CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The 1/8" port and U back cover (90-degree orientation) simplify integration into compact battery assembly fixtures.

Where the Airtac B06-MIC Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MIC16X20SU Is Used
Cell Stacking
Positions battery cells in stacking fixtures with 100.5 N push force, while the adjustable cushion prevents impact damage at cycle speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Tabbing Press
Applies consistent 86.4 N pull force for tabbing operations, with the stainless rod resisting corrosion from electrolyte residue in production areas.
Module Alignment
Uses the -S magnet with CMSG sensors for precise position feedback during module pack alignment, ensuring repeatable placement within +/-0.1 mm.
Is the Airtac B06-MIC Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MIC16X20SU the Right Cylinder?
For this 16 bore, the 100.5 N push force suits light clamping and positioning tasks. If you need more force, step up to the MIC20X50 with 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa; if space is tighter, the MI16X20 (bumper version) offers a lower-cost alternative without cushioning. The adjustable cushion matters most when cycling above 300 mm/s or when handling fragile battery cells - it prevents end-of-stroke impact. Remember, this cylinder does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock for vertical applications. The -S magnet enables sensor mounting, and the ISO 6432 interface fits standard mini brackets.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B06-MIC Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MIC16X20SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: push 100.5 N, pull 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa: push 140.7 N, pull 120.9 N. Theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 16 mm bore uses a 6 mm rod with M6x1.0 thread and 1/8" port.
B06- designates AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line - mechanically identical to the standard MIC16X20SU. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to decelerate the piston near stroke end, reducing shock and noise. It is not a lock or brake; the cylinder will drift on air loss.
