This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X400S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X400S 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-SI32X400S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X400S 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-SAI32X400S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X400S
The AirTAC B06-SI32X400S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, though mechanically it is identical to the base SI32X400S, delivering 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 32 mm bore and 400 mm stroke. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI32X400S, a true drop-in upgrade sharing 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 your sizing, the safe working load is roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 402 N push force), allowing a vertical lift of approximately 20 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The original SI -S magnet supports CS1-B/DS1-B legacy sensors, while the SAI family introduces SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI line lacked.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X400S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa to align and press battery cell layers during module stacking, using the 400 mm stroke to accommodate varying pack heights.
Tab Handling & Transfer
Extends 400 mm to move electrode tabs or separators between processing stations on battery assembly lines, relying on the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Pack Diverting
Sorts or stops battery modules on conveyors with a safe working load of 241 N, ensuring gentle handling without damaging the cells.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X400S with the B06-SAI32X400S
To replace the B06-SI32X400S, order the SAI32X400S, confirming the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G1/8 port (PT/G/NPT thread options), and the -S magnet for switch sensing. When sizing, note the 32 mm bore yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628 N if more force is needed. A plain cylinder does not hold load without live air—the cushion only decelerates—so for battery-pack lifting use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL lock variant. Because the 400 mm stroke invites rod bending, use external guides to prevent side-load damage.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X400S
- ✓ 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-SI32X400S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI32X400S (battery-dedicated SI32X400S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32X400S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and mounting fixtures.
The 32 mm bore uses a G1/8 air port and M10x1.25 rod thread. Force output is 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, with a theoretical max of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
