This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X500S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X500S 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-SI32X500S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X500S 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-SAI32X500S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X500S
The AirTAC B06-SI32X500S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI32X500S, mechanically identical to the base model. Delivering 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 32 mm bore and 500 mm stroke, this end-of-life unit must be replaced by the current SAI32X500S.
The SAI32X500S is a true drop-in replacement retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. It upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure. For your battery line, expect a safe working load around 241 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push) and a vertical lift capacity near 20 kg with a 2:1 margin. The original -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X500S Is Used
Cell Stacking Alignment
Drives precision alignment jigs in battery cell stacking modules, utilizing the 500 mm stroke to index prismatic cells into layered formation stacks.
Module Transfer Handling
Actuates pusher arms on conveyor lines to route battery modules between welding and inspection stations, handling loads within the 241 N safe working limit.
Tab Welding Positioning
Positions electrode packs for battery tab welding with consistent end-of-stroke damping via adjustable 27 mm air cushions at both ends.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X500S with the B06-SAI32X500S
To replace the B06-SI32X500S, order the SAI32X500S and verify your ISO 15552 mounting fixtures, 500 mm stroke, and G1/8 port. The SAI family also introduces the SAIL air-released lock, SAIF built-in valve, and BSAI clamp-lock variants absent in the legacy SI line. If your battery assembly process requires load holding on air loss, note that a plain cylinder drifts; the cushion only decelerates. Use a SAIL lock variant or an external pilot check valve. For sizing, the 32 mm bore yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; neighboring bores like the 40 mm offer 628 N. Because the stroke is 500 mm, add external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X500S
- ✓ 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-SI32X500S FAQ
