This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X80 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X80 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-SI32X80
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X80 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI32X80, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X80
The AirTAC B06-SI32X80 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder delivering 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SI32X80. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI32X80, a true drop-in sharing the same 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI32X80 upgrade features a new piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor. 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.

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-SAI32X80 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-SI32X80 Is Used
Cell Stacking
Provides the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa needed for precise alignment and stacking of prismatic battery cells in module assembly.
Tab Welding
Handles the 80 mm stroke clamp action for battery tab welding fixtures, ensuring stable contact without excessive force.
Pack Handling
Acts as a diverting or stopping actuator on battery pack conveyor lines, moving lightweight trays within the 20 kg vertical lift range.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X80 with the B06-SAI32X80
To replace this discontinued cylinder, order the SAI32X80. Confirm your ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the 80 mm stroke, and the G1/8 port. This SKU has no magnet (-S), so it cannot support position sensing; if your battery line requires switches, select an SAI32X80S instead. At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore yields 402 N push and 345 N pull; if you need less force, consider a 25 mm bore, or step up to a 40 mm bore (628 N push) for higher demand. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for load holding use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL lock variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X80
- ✓ 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-SI32X80 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI32X80 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32X80. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, output force, and G1/8 port. The B06- prefix simply denotes it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SI32X80, and the SAI32X80 matches all its physical specs.
The 32 mm bore uses a G1/8 air port and an 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, with a theoretical max of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
