This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI100X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI100X150S 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-SI100X150S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X150S 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-SAI100X150S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X150S
The AirTAC B06-SI100X150S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SI100X150S, mechanically identical with a 100mm bore, 150mm stroke, G1/2 port, and 3927N push force at 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI100X150S.
The SAI100X150S is a true drop-in replacement matching the ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force, and port size. The upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI variants the SI lacked. With a 3927N push at 0.5MPa, the safe working load is about 2356N, allowing a 200kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X150S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly lines, utilizing the 3927N thrust to press layers consistently.
Module Handling
Transfers heavy battery modules along conveyors, where the 150mm stroke provides the exact reach for loading and unloading stations.
Pack Pressing
Applies controlled clamping force during battery pack housing assembly, benefiting from the adjustable 36mm air cushions at both ends.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X150S with the B06-SAI100X150S
To replace the B06-SI100X150S, order the SAI100X150S. It drops into existing fixtures via the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, matching the 100mm bore, 150mm stroke, G1/2 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and magnet (-S). If sizing down, the 80mm bore yields 2513N push at 0.5MPa; if sizing up, the 125mm bore yields 6136N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for load holding use the SAIL lock, BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot check valve. The SAI family also offers the SAIF variant with a built-in 4M valve for bores 32-100. The 150mm stroke is under the 300mm side-load threshold, but always guide the rod to prevent bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI100X150S
- ✓ 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-SI100X150S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI100X150S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI100X150S. It features the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100mm bore, 150mm stroke, G1/2 port, and output force. The B06- prefix simply designated it for battery manufacturing; the SAI replacement is mechanically identical.
The bore is 100mm with a G1/2 air port. Force ratings are: 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5MPa, 5497N push at 0.7MPa, 7068N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 801kgf at 1.0MPa. The -S suffix means it has a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B legacy switches.
