This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X450S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X450S 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-SI32X450S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X450S 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-SAI32X450S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X450S
The AirTAC B06-SI32X450S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The leading B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI32X450S, mechanically identical to the standard model and built for cell, module, and pack assembly lines. Delivering 402 N push at 0.5 MPa through a 32 mm bore, it is replaced by the SAI32X450S.
The SAI drop-in retains the same G1/8 port, M10x1.25 thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface. It upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure. The safe working load is about 241 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), yielding a 20 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The SI -S magnet supports CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while SAIL lock variants exist for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X450S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly, utilizing the 450 mm stroke to index separator and cathode materials accurately.
Module Handling
Transfers battery modules along pack assembly lines, where the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily repositions intermediate carriers.
Tab Welding Press
Applies controlled clamping for busbar tab welding, maintaining alignment over the long 450 mm travel with external guide support.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X450S with the B06-SAI32X450S
To replace the B06-SI32X450S, order the SAI32X450S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting fixtures. Confirm your port thread (PT/G/NPT) and keep the -S magnet for current AirTAC switches. For sizing, the 32 mm bore yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; dropping to a smaller bore cuts force, while a 40 mm bore raises it to 628 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use a SAIL lock or external pilot check valve for holding. At 450 mm, add external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X450S
- ✓ 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-SI32X450S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI32X450S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32X450S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, force, and G1/8 port. The B06- prefix simply indicated its battery-manufacturing dedicated application, and the SAI replacement fits the same fixtures seamlessly.
The 32 mm bore features 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, and a theoretical max of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
