This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI100X80S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI100X80S 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-SI100X80S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X80S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 80mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI100X80S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X80S
The AirTAC B06-SI100X80S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI100X80S, mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/2 port. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI100X80S, a true drop-in sharing the same interface, 80 mm stroke, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. Buyers gain a safe working load of roughly 2356 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), lifting about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. Your -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, though SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X80S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies the 3927 N push force to align and press lithium-ion prismatic cells during module stacking operations.
Pack Handling
Moves heavy battery packs along assembly lines, utilizing the 80 mm stroke for precise indexing and transfers.
Tab Welding Clamp
Secures battery modules firmly in place for automated ultrasonic tab welding with reliable 0.5 MPa actuation.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI100X80S with the B06-SAI100X80S
To replace the B06-SI100X80S, order the SAI100X80S. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/2 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and -S magnet requirement. This 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; if undersizing, an 80 mm bore offers 2513 N. For load holding, note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air—the cushion only decelerates. Use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. The 80 mm stroke is short, so side-load rod-bending risks are minimal, but always guide the load.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI100X80S
- ✓ 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-SI100X80S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI100X80S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI100X80S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same bore, 80 mm stroke, force, G1/2 port, and mounting. The B06- prefix simply denotes the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, and the SAI upgrade matches it exactly.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497 N, and at 0.9 MPa it pushes 7068 N. The theoretical max force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s. The G1/2 port and 36 mm adjustable cushions ensure stable performance.
