This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X500 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X500 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-SI32X500
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X500 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 500mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI32X500, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X500
The AirTAC B06-SI32X500 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 32mm bore and 500mm stroke. The B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SI32X500. Delivering 402N push at 0.5MPa via a G1/8 port, it is replaced by the SAI32X500.
The SAI32X500 is a true drop-in replacement, retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, and port. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor. For battery line tasks, the safe working load is roughly 241N (60% of 402N), allowing a 20kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X500 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Provides the 402N push at 0.5MPa required for aligning and stacking prismatic battery cells during module assembly.
Tab Handling Transfer
Moves delicate cell tabs along the production line, utilizing the 500mm stroke to bridge processing stations.
Pack Sorting Diverter
Acts as a diverting arm on battery pack conveyors, where the 241N safe working load easily shifts lightweight packs.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X500 with the B06-SAI32X500
To replace the B06-SI32X500, order the SAI32X500, confirming the ISO 15552 interface, 32mm bore, 500mm stroke, G1/8 port (PT/G/NPT), and mounting accessory. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; order a -S SAI model if switch sensing is needed. At 0.5MPa it yields 402N push and 345N pull; neighbouring bores (40mm) offer 628N push. For 500mm strokes, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. The cushion only decelerates; for load holding on air loss, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X500
- ✓ 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-SI32X500 FAQ
