This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X160S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X160S 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-SI32X160S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X160S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI32X160S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X160S
The AirTAC B06-SI32X160S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI32X160S, mechanically identical to the base model with a 32mm bore and 160mm stroke. Delivering 402N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/8 port, it is replaced by the drop-in SAI32X160S, which shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, and port.
The SAI32X160S upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. A computed buyer insight: safe working load is roughly 241N (60% of 402N), allowing a 20kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The SAI family adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI variants the SI lacked. This -S model includes a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAI uses current AirTAC sensors.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X160S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Ideal for precision cell stacking in battery module assembly, providing 402N push force and 160mm travel for reliable electrode positioning.
Module Handling
Moves battery modules along assembly lines. The ISO 15552 profile barrel integrates cleanly into existing conveyor fixtures.
Tab Welding Press
Applies consistent 241N safe working load for tab welding operations, ensuring electrical contact without damaging delicate cell terminals.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X160S with the B06-SAI32X160S
To replace the B06-SI32X160S, order the SAI32X160S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 mounting-interface dimensions, fitting existing fixtures perfectly. Confirm the G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and the -S magnet requirement. The 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa; if more force is needed, step up to the 40mm bore (628N push). For shorter cycles, the 25mm bore offers 345N pull. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for battery stacking or handling, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. The 160mm stroke is under the 1000mm max standard, so no nonstandard stroke applies.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X160S
- ✓ 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-SI32X160S FAQ
