The AirTAC Airtac B06-MIC Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MIC32X175U is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
The B06-MIC32X175U is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the MIC32X175U round-body mini cylinder - mechanically identical to the base model, with the B06- prefix marking it for cell and module assembly lines. It delivers a 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa from its 32 mm bore, with a stainless-steel barrel and rod that shrug off mild corrosion and washdown residue common in electrode coating areas.
Its defining feature is the variable air cushion at both ends - a needle-valve adjustment that bleeds off kinetic energy before the piston slams the end cap, protecting delicate battery tabs and reducing noise at cycle rates up to 800 mm/s. With a 1/8 inch port and M10x1.25 male rod thread, it fits standard battery-line tooling. Safe working load is about 241 N at 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure, so it comfortably handles stacking and tabbing fixtures within that envelope.

| 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.

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.
Pushes 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa to align and stack pouch cells in a fixture. The adjustable cushion prevents the stack from shifting on impact, keeping edge alignment within tolerance.
Applies controlled 345.6 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to fold and crease battery tabs. The needle-set cushion at the return end stops the rod gently, avoiding crease marks on soft foil.
Acts as a stop gate on a battery module conveyor, extending to block a pallet. The 563 N push at 0.7 MPa holds the line, while the cushion absorbs the pallet's kinetic energy on contact.
For a 32 mm bore application, compare against the MIC25X100 (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your load is lighter and you want to save space, or step up to the MIC40X175 (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) if you need nearly 60% more force for heavier module handling. The adjustable cushion matters most when you're running high-speed cycles with a rigid load - without it, the piston's end-of-stroke impact transfers shock through the fixture. Remember this cylinder does not hold position on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For a held load, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. This SKU has no -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches - order the -S version if you need position sensing. The U back cover gives 90-degree port orientation for tight battery-line layouts.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 402.2 N and pull is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N. Theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 32 mm bore uses a 1/8 inch air port and M10x1.25 male rod thread.
B06- is AirTAC's designation for battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinders - it marks this as the MIC32X175U configured for cell and module assembly lines, but it is mechanically identical to the standard model. This SKU has no -S magnet, so it cannot use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Order the -S variant if you need position sensing.
