This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X200 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X200 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-SI32X200 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 200mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI32X200, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SI32X200 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SI32X200, delivering 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 32 mm bore and 200 mm stroke. It features a G1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod thread.
As the SI line is end-of-life, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32X200. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, and port. The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. For battery line sensing, note this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot take a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor. Based on the 402 N [email protected] MPa, the safe working load is ~241 N (roughly 60%), allowing a vertical lift of ~20 kg with a 2:1 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 for precision stacking of prismatic battery cells, ensuring uniform alignment without damaging delicate cell casings.
Moves battery modules along the assembly line with a 200 mm stroke, utilizing the 30-800 mm/s speed range for high-throughput pack assembly transitions.
Secures battery tabs during laser welding operations, providing stable, repeatable clamping force for consistent electrical connections in battery packs.
To replace this discontinued battery-line cylinder, order the SAI32X200. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port (PT/G/NPT thread options), and mounting accessory. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support position sensing; if your battery stacking or handling fixture requires switches, select an SAI32X200S instead. Sizing both ways: the 32 mm bore offers 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the neighbouring 40 mm bore provides 628 N if you need more force for heavier module packs. A plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. At 200 mm stroke, guide rods are recommended to prevent side-load bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI series is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32X200. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 32 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 402 N force, G1/8 port, and mounting interface. The B06- prefix simply denotes the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, and the SAI replacement matches these specs exactly.
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a G1/8 air port and M10x1.25 rod thread. The thrust figures are: 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, and a theoretical max of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 30-800 mm/s with a 27 mm adjustable cushion at both ends.
