This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X350 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X350 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-SI32X350
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X350 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 350mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI32X350, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X350
The AirTAC B06-SI32X350 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder delivering 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, though mechanically it is identical to the base SI32X350. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI32X350, a true drop-in sharing the same 32 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, G1/8 port and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. For battery cell handling, expect a safe working load near 241 N (about 60% of the 402 N push force) or a 20 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this no-S SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor; if you need position feedback, order an SAI with the -S suffix for CS1-B/DS1-B switches.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X350 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives vertical positioning arms in cell stacking modules, where the 241 N safe working load handles delicate prismatic cells without crushing.
Module Transfer
Pushes battery modules onto conveyor lines, utilizing the 350 mm stroke to clear fixture boundaries before retraction.
Tab Welding Feed
Feeds electrode heads in automated tab welding stations, requiring external guides to maintain alignment over the long 350 mm travel.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X350 with the B06-SAI32X350
To replace the B06-SI32X350, order the SAI32X350. Confirm your ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB foot, FA flange, TC trunnion) and the G1/8 port. The SAI family adds SAIL (air-released lock) and BSAI (clamp-lock) variants the SI lacked, which are useful if you need load holding on battery assembly lines, as a plain cylinder drifts without live air. For position sensing, select an SAI-S model, as this no-S SKU cannot fit a switch. Sizing both ways: the 32 mm bore gives 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the neighbouring 40 mm bore offers 628 N. Because the 350 mm stroke is long, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load damage during stacking operations.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X350
- ✓ 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-SI32X350 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI32X350 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32X350. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, keeping the same 32 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, G1/8 port and mounting interface. The B06- prefix simply denotes it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SI32X350, with no mechanical differences.
This double-acting cylinder has a G1/8 port. It delivers 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. The adjustable air cushion is 27 mm at each end, and speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
