This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X50 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X50 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-SI32X50
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI32X50, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X50
The AirTAC B06-SI32X50 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI32X50, mechanically identical to the base model. Delivering 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 32 mm bore and 12 mm rod, it is replaced by the SAI32X50.
The SAI32X50 is a true drop-in replacement sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure. For battery line loads, the safe working load is roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 402 N push force), allowing a 20 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-S SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAI32X50 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 | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The B06-SAI32X50 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-SI32X50 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Ideal for precision stacking of battery cells in module assembly, where the 241 N safe working load provides reliable, controlled vertical placement.
Tab & Foil Handling
Suitable for guiding and positioning delicate battery tabs and copper foils on automated lines, utilizing the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Pack Sorting
Used in diverting and sorting small battery packs, offering 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa for consistent routing operations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X50 with the B06-SAI32X50
To replace the B06-SI32X50, order the SAI32X50, confirming the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/8 port (PT/G/NPT), and mounting accessory. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept position switches; if sensing is needed, specify an SAI32X50S. Size both ways: neighbouring bores (40 mm) offer higher force, while 0.5 MPa yields a 241 N safe working load. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for vertical battery-cell stacking, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X50
- ✓ 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-SI32X50 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI32X50 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32X50, which shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, force, and G1/8 port. The B06- prefix simply denotes it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant.
The 32 mm bore uses a G1/8 port. Force ratings 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. The safe working load is approximately 241 N.
