This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X25 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X25 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-SI32X25
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X25 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI32X25, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X25
The AirTAC B06-SI32X25 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder, originally designated for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-dedicated variant of the base SI32X25, mechanically identical with a 32mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/8 port, and 402N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI32X25, a true drop-in sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force, and port size.
The SAI32X25 upgrade features a new piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. For your sizing, the safe working load is roughly 241N (about 60% of the 402N push force), allowing a 20kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Also, a standard cylinder does not hold load without live air; for battery stacking or handling that requires holding, consider the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock variants.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X25 Is Used
Cell Stacking
Ideal for battery cell stacking and alignment tasks, providing precise 25mm actuation with 402N push force at 0.5 MPa for delicate electrode handling.
Module Handling
Used in battery module assembly lines to push or index components, leveraging the ISO 15552 profile barrel for easy fixture integration.
Tab Welding
Provides reliable clamping pressure for battery tab welding applications, ensuring stable contact without requiring continuous live air for holding.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X25 with the B06-SAI32X25
To replace the discontinued B06-SI32X25, order the SAI32X25, confirming the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/8 port (PT/G/NPT thread), and mounting accessory. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot support position sensing; if switches are needed for battery cell assembly, select the SAI32X25S instead. Sizing both ways: the 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5 MPa, while the neighboring 40mm bore provides 628N. For any stroke over 300mm, add external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. Remember, the air cushion only decelerates at stroke end; it does not hold load on air loss. For secure load holding in vertical tabbing or handling, use an external pilot check valve, rod lock, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X25
- ✓ 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-SI32X25 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI32X25 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SI32X25) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32X25. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 32mm bore, 25mm stroke, force, G1/8 port, and mounting interface.
The 32mm bore features a G1/8 air port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and 27mm adjustable cushions. It delivers 402N push / 345N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563N push at 0.7 MPa, 724N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
