This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI100X50S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI100X50S 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-SI100X50S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X50S 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-SAI100X50S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X50S
The AirTAC B06-SI100X50S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI100X50S, mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 100 mm bore and G1/2 port.
You must order the drop-in SAI100X50S replacement. It shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, stroke, force, and port. The SAI upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. For load holding, note that air cushions only decelerate; use the SAIL or BSAI lock variants for secure holding.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAI100X50S 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-SAI100X50S 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-SI100X50S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa needed to press and align battery cells tightly into modules during pack assembly.
Module Handling
Moves heavy battery modules along the production line, utilizing the 100 mm bore and G1/2 port for high-throughput pneumatic power.
Tab Welding Press
Holds battery tabs firmly in place for welding operations, where the 36 mm adjustable air cushions ensure smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X50S with the B06-SAI100X50S
To replace this battery-line cylinder, order the SAI100X50S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/2 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Sizing both ways: a 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the neighbouring 80 mm bore offers 2513 N. At 0.7 MPa this 100 mm bore pushes 5497 N. With a 50 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide the rod to prevent bending. 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-SAI100X50S
- ✓ 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-SI100X50S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI100X50S battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI100X50S. It features the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, force, and G1/2 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 100 mm bore uses a G1/2 air port. 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; with a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The safe working load is approximately 2356 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), allowing a vertical lift of about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin.
