This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI100X150 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI100X150 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-SI100X150
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X150 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 150mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI100X150, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X150
The AirTAC B06-SI100X150 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI100X150, mechanically identical to the base model for cell and pack assembly lines. Delivering 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced by the SAI100X150.
The SAI100X150 is a true drop-in replacement sharing the same G1/2 port, 150 mm stroke, and ISO 15552 mounting interface. The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. A safe working load is roughly 2356 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this no-S SKU cannot take a sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAI100X150 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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-SAI100X150 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-SI100X150 Is Used
Module Stack Pressing
Applies up to 5497 N at 0.7 MPa to compress and align battery module layers during pack assembly, ensuring uniform contact and structural integrity.
Cell Tray Indexing
Drives heavy pallets of lithium cells along the production line, utilizing the 150 mm stroke to push trays into testing stations.
Pack Handling Lift
Lifts battery packs weighing around 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the 25 mm rod for rigid load transfer.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X150 with the B06-SAI100X150
To replace this discontinued cylinder, order the SAI100X150. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the 150 mm stroke, and the G1/2 port (PT, G or NPT thread). Because this B06- battery-line SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; if position detection is needed, select an SAI100X150S. For sizing, the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; neighbouring bores (80 mm yields 2513 N, 125 mm yields 6136 N) offer alternatives if force margins permit. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for battery-stack load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI100X150
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
