This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X450 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X450 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-SI32X450
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X450 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 450mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI32X450, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X450
The AirTAC B06-SI32X450 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI32X450, mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, and G1/8 port. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI32X450.
The SAI32X450 is a true drop-in replacement retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and port. It upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure. This SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For battery line tasks, the safe working load is roughly 241 N (60% of 402 N), yielding a 20 kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The B06-SAI32X450 produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X450 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives stacking mechanisms in cell assembly lines, offering 241 N safe working load for precise layering without overloading the 32 mm bore.
Module Handling
Transfers battery modules along conveyors with a 450 mm stroke, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending during lateral movements.
Tab Welding Fixtures
Positions battery tabs for welding; note this non-magnet SKU cannot use sensors, requiring external mechanical stops for positioning.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X450 with the B06-SAI32X450
To replace the B06-SI32X450, order the SAI32X450. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the 450 mm stroke, and G1/8 port. Because this lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support position sensing; if needed, order an SAI with -S. For sizing, the 32 mm bore yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; dropping to a 25 mm bore loses capacity, while a 40 mm bore offers 628 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. With a 450 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads on battery assembly fixtures.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X450
- ✓ 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-SI32X450 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI32X450 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SI32X450) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32X450. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, 402 N force, and G1/8 port. The SAI simply upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped elements for longer life and lower start-up pressure.
The 32 mm bore features a G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and 27 mm cushions. Forces 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. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
