This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI100X50 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI100X50 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-SI100X50
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 50mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI100X50, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X50
The AirTAC B06-SI100X50 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI100X50, mechanically identical to the base model with a 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced the SI line with the SAI family, making the SAI100X50 the exact drop-in replacement. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, output force, and porting, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. This SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot accept a sensor, unlike CS1-B/DS1-B legacy switches. For safe sizing, expect a working load around 2356 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push force) or a 200 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. For load holding, note that cushions only decelerate; you need the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock variant.

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-SAI100X50 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-SI100X50 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa needed to press and align lithium-ion prismatic cells into modules during automated stacking processes.
Pack Handling
Drives heavy pack transfers on battery assembly lines, utilizing the 50 mm stroke to push battery packs between conveyors with precise end-positioning.
Tab Welding Press
Applies consistent clamping pressure for busbar tab welding, leveraging the G1/2 port and adjustable 36 mm cushions to prevent end-of-stroke impact.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X50 with the B06-SAI100X50
To replace the B06-SI100X50, order the SAI100X50. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G1/2 port, and the 50 mm stroke. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support position sensing; if sensing is needed, order the SAI100X50S. The 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. If sizing down, the 80 mm bore offers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for battery stacking or handling that requires held loads, specify the SAIL air-released lock or BSAI clamp-lock variant, or use an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI100X50
- ✓ 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-SI100X50 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI100X50 (battery-dedicated SI100X50) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAI100X50. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting interface.
The G1/2 port is fixed by the 100 mm bore. It delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The safe working load is approximately 2356 N.
