This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X50S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X50S 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-SI32X50S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X50S 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-SAI32X50S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X50S
The AirTAC B06-SI32X50S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder delivering 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SI32X50S. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI32X50S, a true drop-in upgrade retaining the exact G1/8 port, M10x1.25 thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features a new piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. For battery line tasks, the safe working load is roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 402 N push force), translating to a vertical lift capacity of 20 kg with a 2:1 margin. The original -S magnet supports CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family introduces SAIL and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X50S Is Used
Cell Stacking
Ideal for prismatic cell stacking and alignment in battery module assembly, providing precise 50 mm actuation with a 241 N safe working load.
Tab Handling
Drives lightweight transfer mechanisms for battery tab sorting and feeding lines, operating reliably at 30-800 mm/s.
Pack Sorting
Executes reject and sorting gates on battery pack conveyors, offering 20 kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 safety margin.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X50S with the B06-SAI32X50S
To replace the B06-SI32X50S, order the SAI32X50S. It drops into existing fixtures via the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, matching the 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. Keep the -S option to retain the piston magnet for current AirTAC switches. If your battery assembly line needs more force, the neighboring 40 mm bore offers 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. For vertical stacking or handling, note that a standard cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. Use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL lock variant to hold loads safely.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X50S
- ✓ 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-SI32X50S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI32X50S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAI32X50S. It features the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and magnet option, fitting existing battery manufacturing fixtures without modification.
It is a 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder with a 12 mm rod, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 thread. Force ratings are 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The B06- prefix simply designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant with no mechanical changes.
