This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X125 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X125 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.

The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X125 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI32X125, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SI32X125 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder, delivering 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 32 mm bore and 125 mm stroke. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SI32X125 for cell assembly lines. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI32X125 drop-in, featuring the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. For your sizing, the safe working load is roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 402 N push force), yielding a 20 kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; if needed, specify an S-option. For load holding on air loss, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL lock variant, as cushions only decelerate.

The B06-SAI32X125 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.

Legacy SI-family variants: SID (double rod), SIJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAI equivalent (SID→SAID, SIJ→SAIJ). Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B).
Applies the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa to align and press battery cell layers during module stacking operations.
Actuates routing gates on conveyor lines to direct battery tabs or separators into the correct assembly chute.
Extends 125 mm to halt battery packs on a roller conveyor for scanning or robotic pick-and-place insertion.
To replace the B06-SI32X125, order the SAI32X125 drop-in. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 thread match your battery line fixtures. This non-magnet version cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor; order the -S magnet option if position feedback is required. At 0.5 MPa it yields 402 N push / 345 N pull; if you need less force, step down to a 25 mm bore, or step up to a 40 mm bore (628 N push) for higher load. For 125 mm strokes, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending. The SAI family also offers the SAIF (integrated valve) and SAIL (air-released lock) variants if your cell handling requires self-valving or load holding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SI32X125 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SI32X125) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32X125. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 32 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting fixtures perfectly.
The 32 mm bore uses a G1/8 air port and M10x1.25 rod thread. Force output is 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, 724 N push at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
