This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI100X100S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI100X100S 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-SI100X100S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X100S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 100mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI100X100S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X100S
The AirTAC B06-SI100X100S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix designates it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI100X100S, mechanically identical to the base model with a 100mm bore and 100mm stroke. It delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/2 port.
AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI100X100S, a true drop-in sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, and port. The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. For your battery line planning, the safe working load is roughly 2356 N (60% of the 3927 N push), allowing a vertical lift of about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The B06-SAI100X100S produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X100S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies consistent 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa for aligning and stacking prismatic battery cells during module assembly.
Pack Handling Stopper
Acts as a robust 100mm bore stopper on conveyor lines, handling heavy battery pack trays with a safe working load of 2356 N.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides the 100mm stroke and 200 kg vertical-lift capacity needed to position and clamp battery tabs prior to laser welding.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X100S with the B06-SAI100X100S
To replace the B06-SI100X100S, order the SAI100X100S. It drops directly into existing fixtures via the ISO 15552 mounting interface. Confirm your port thread (PT, G, or NPT), mounting accessory (FA flange or TC trunnion), and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B legacy sensors (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches). For sizing, the 100mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less force is needed, an 80mm bore provides 2513 N. Remember, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding on a battery stacker, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI100X100S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X100S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI100X100S (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SI100X100S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAI100X100S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100mm bore, 100mm stroke, output force, G1/2 port, and mounting accessories, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The bore is 100mm with a G1/2 air port and M20x1.5 rod thread. Force ratings are: 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.
