This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI100X600 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI100X600 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-SI100X600
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X600 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 600mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI100X600, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X600
The AirTAC B06-SI100X600 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix designates it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI100X600, mechanically identical to the base model with a 100mm bore and 600mm stroke. Delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port, it is replaced by the SAI100X600. This drop-in upgrade shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, port and accessories.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. For this bore class, the safe working load is roughly 2356 N (60% of the 3927 N push force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor. For battery line load-holding, explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants, as standard cushions only decelerate.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAI100X600 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-SAI100X600 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-SI100X600 Is Used
Battery Module Stacking
Drives the stacking mechanisms in cell-to-module assembly lines, handling the 200kg vertical load capacity with precise 600mm travel.
Pack Handling Transfer
Moves heavy battery packs along conveyor belts during cell formation and aging processes, utilizing the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Tab Welding Press
Applies consistent clamping pressure for battery tab welding operations, relying on adjustable air cushions to decelerate the 600mm stroke smoothly.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X600 with the B06-SAI100X600
To replace the discontinued B06-SI100X600, order the SAI100X600. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100mm bore, 600mm stroke, G1/2 port (PT/G/NPT thread options), and mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; order an SAI with -S if position detection is needed. Sizing both ways: a 100mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80mm bore yields 2513 N. Because stroke is 600mm, add external guides to prevent rod-bending side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for battery assembly load-holding, use the SAIL lock, BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI100X600
- ✓ 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-SI100X600 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI100X600 (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SI100X600) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI100X600. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 100mm bore, 600mm stroke, 3927 N force, G1/2 port, and mounting interface.
The 100mm bore uses a G1/2 air port and an 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.
