The AirTAC Airtac B06-MIC Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MIC20X350SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 350mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.
The B06-MIC20X350SCM is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the MIC20X350SCM round-body mini cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it for cell, module, and pack assembly lines, but mechanically it is identical to the base model: a double-acting, stainless-steel barrel and rod construction with a riveted, rolled build that shrugs off mild corrosion and washdown. Its defining feature is the variable air cushion at both ends - a needle-set deceleration zone that absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting delicate battery components and cutting cycle noise.
With a 20 mm bore, this cylinder delivers 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 219.8 N push at 0.7 MPa. For a typical battery-handling application, a safe working load is about 94 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), and it can lift approximately 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The ISO 6432 mounting interface means it drops into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises, simplifying spares and design. The -S magnet is built in, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors can be fitted for position confirmation. Air port is 1/8" PT or G thread.

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.
Use the 157 N push at 0.5 MPa to gently stack battery cells. The adjustable air cushion at both ends prevents hard impacts that could dent cell casings or damage separator layers.
The 131.9 N pull force at 0.5 MPa retracts tab alignment fixtures. The needle-set cushion absorbs the return stroke shock, keeping tab positioning repeatable at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Position module housings with the 219.8 N push at 0.7 MPa. The built-in -S magnet lets a CMSG sensor confirm full extension, while the cushion protects the housing from end-of-stroke bounce.
Sizing this B06-MIC20X350SCM for a battery line starts with the load: at 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N, so a 94 N working load leaves a healthy margin. If you need more force, step up to the MIC25X100 - that bore pushes 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa. If the application is lighter, the MIC16X50 pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa but lacks the cushion refinement of this 20 mm bore. The adjustable air cushion is the key differentiator for high-speed pick-and-place or stacking operations where hard stops can damage cells or weld tabs.
Remember, this cylinder does not hold its load on air loss - the piston drifts, and the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, it is not a lock or brake. For a held position, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The CM back cover is fitted, and the -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch mounting. With the ISO 6432 interface, standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises fit directly.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 157 N and pull is 131.9 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 219.8 N and pull to 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 32 kgf. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
B06- is AirTAC's designation for battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinders. The B06-MIC20X350SCM is mechanically identical to the standard MIC20X350SCM - same bore, stroke, force, and port - just framed for cell and module assembly lines. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle to control deceleration near stroke end, reducing shock and noise. It is not a lock or brake; the piston drifts on air loss. The -S magnet is built in for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
