This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X175 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X175 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-SI32X175
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X175 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI32X175, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X175
The AirTAC B06-SI32X175 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder, delivering 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 32 mm bore and 175 mm stroke. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SI32X175. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI32X175, a true drop-in upgrade retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. For battery line sizing, the 402 N push at 0.5 MPa yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 20 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position sensors; legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches require the -S version. The family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X175 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa for aligning and pressing battery cell stacks during module assembly, utilizing the 175 mm stroke for clearance.
Tab Handling & Sorting
Moves battery tabs and interconnects along the production line, where the 32 mm bore provides fast 30-800 mm/s actuation without excessive force.
Pack Diverting
Diverts or gates battery packs on conveyors, where the lightweight profile barrel and ISO 15552 mounting make fixture integration straightforward.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X175 with the B06-SAI32X175
To replace the B06-SI32X175, order the SAI32X175. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 175 mm stroke, and G1/8 port. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support sensors; if your battery assembly line requires position detection, select the SAI32X175S instead. For sizing, the 32 mm bore offers 402 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, a 25 mm bore provides less thrust; stepping up to a 40 mm bore increases push to 628 N at 0.5 MPa. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for vertical load holding on a cell stacking fixture, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL lock variant. At 175 mm stroke, side-load is moderate, but ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X175
- ✓ 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-SI32X175 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI32X175 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32X175. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI32X175. The SAI32X175 matches the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and output force, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 32 mm bore uses a G1/8 air port and an M10x1.25 rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 345 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa push is 563 N, and at 0.9 MPa it is 724 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
