This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X400 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X400 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-SI32X400
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X400 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 400mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI32X400, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X400
The AirTAC B06-SI32X400 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 of the base SI32X400, mechanically identical to it for cell and pack assembly tasks. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI32X400 drop-in, retaining the 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod thread.
The SAI32X400 upgrade features a new piston seal (two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure) and introduces SAIL, SAIF and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 241 N (60% of the 402 N push force), yielding a 20 kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAI32X400 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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-SI32X400 Is Used
Cell Stacking
Drives stacking plates in prismatic cell assembly, utilizing the 400 mm stroke to feed separators accurately within the 20 kg safe lift margin.
Module Handling
Transfers battery modules between belt stages, where the 241 N safe working load easily manages lightweight aluminum housings without side-load stress.
Tab Welding
Positions cell tabs for laser welding fixtures, relying on the G1/8 port and adjustable 27 mm cushions to ensure smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X400 with the B06-SAI32X400
To replace the B06-SI32X400, order the SAI32X400. It drops into existing fixtures via the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, matching the 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G1/8 port (PT/G/NPT options) and M10x1.25 thread. Because this 400 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. If you need more force, the neighboring 40 mm bore offers 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; order the -S version if position feedback is needed. For load holding on air loss, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant, as cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X400
- ✓ 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-SI32X400 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI32X400 battery-manufacturing variant is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32X400. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, force, G1/8 port and accessories, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 345 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N, and 724 N at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical max is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s. The B06- prefix indicates a battery line designation only, with no mechanical changes to these base SI32X400 specs.
