This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI100X1000 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI100X1000 in place of this model. The SAI replacement keeps the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and accessories, so it drops straight into existing fixtures. It is the current-production version of this cylinder with an upgraded piston seal.

The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X1000 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI100X1000, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SI100X1000 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SI100X1000, mechanically identical with 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI100X1000—a true drop-in sharing the same bore, stroke, G1/2 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure. With a 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is ~2356 N, allowing a ~200 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot take CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

Legacy SI-family variants: SID (double rod), SIJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAI equivalent (SID→SAID, SIJ→SAIJ). Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B).
Drives stacking mechanisms in cell assembly lines, providing the 3927 N push force needed to press and align battery layers reliably.
Transfers heavy battery modules along conveyors, utilizing the 1000 mm stroke to bridge loading and unloading stations in pack assembly.
Applies consistent clamping pressure during tab welding operations, where the exact 3681 N pull force at 0.5 MPa ensures stable electrode contact.
To replace the B06-SI100X1000, order the SAI100X1000. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, G1/2 port (PT/G/NPT), and accessory type. This no-magnet SKU cannot accept switches; order SAI100X1000S if sensing is needed. Neighbouring bores: 80 mm yields 2513 N [email protected], 125 mm yields 6136 N. For load holding on air loss, the cushion only decelerates; use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or SAIL/BSAI lock variant. At 1000 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SI100X1000 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI100X1000. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 100 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting interface. The B06- prefix simply denotes its original battery-manufacturing dedicated designation.
This 100 mm bore cylinder features a G1/2 port and M20x1.5 rod thread. Force output is 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
