This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI100X1000S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI100X1000S 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.
Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X1000S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X1000S 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-SAI100X1000S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X1000S
The AirTAC B06-SI100X1000S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SI100X1000S, mechanically identical to the standard unit. Delivering 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced drop-in by the SAI100X1000S. This upgrade shares the exact G1/2 port, M20x1.5 thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. For your sizing, the safe working load is roughly 2356 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), yielding a 200 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The SAI family also adds SAIL lock, SAIF valve, and BSAI clamp-lock variants the SI lacked. Your -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAI uses current AirTAC sensors.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X1000S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives the 1000 mm vertical stacking motion in lithium-ion cell assembly lines, utilizing the 3927 N force to press and align cell layers reliably.
Module Transfer
Executes long-stroke linear push movements to transfer battery modules between assembly stations, relying on adjustable air cushions to decelerate the payload.
Pack Handling
Indexes heavy battery packs along conveyor lines, where the robust 100 mm bore and 200 kg safe vertical lift capacity handle substantial loads.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X1000S with the B06-SAI100X1000S
To replace this battery-line cylinder, order the SAI100X1000S. It drops directly into existing fixtures via the ISO 15552 mounting interface, matching the 100 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and -S magnet. If you need to scale force, the neighboring 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, specify the SAIL or BSAI lock variant, or use an external pilot check valve. Because the 1000 mm stroke invites rod bending, use external guides to prevent side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI100X1000S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
