This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI32X80S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI32X80S 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-SI32X80S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X80S 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-SAI32X80S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X80S
The AirTAC B06-SI32X80S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI32X80S, mechanically identical to the base model with a 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, and 402N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this EOL cylinder with the SAI32X80S, a true drop-in replacement retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread.
The SAI upgrade features a modernized piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. For battery cell handling, the safe working load is roughly 241N (about 60% of the 402N push force), translating to a 20kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin. If your fixture requires load holding on air loss, note that a plain cylinder drifts; you should specify the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock variant, or use an external pilot check valve.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X80S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Ideal for precision stacking of battery cells in module assembly, providing 402N push force at 0.5 MPa for reliable positioning.
Tab & Foil Handling
Moves delicate battery tabs and foils along the production line, utilizing the 80mm stroke and adjustable air cushions for smooth end-of-travel deceleration.
Pack Tray Indexing
Indexes empty or filled pack trays within the battery manufacturing zone, leveraging the ISO 15552 profile barrel for easy sensor mounting.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI32X80S with the B06-SAI32X80S
To replace the B06-SI32X80S, order the SAI32X80S. It drops into existing battery line fixtures perfectly, matching the 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions. Confirm your thread option (PT, G, or NPT) and mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). The -S suffix means this SKU has a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B legacy sensors; the SAI replacement family uses current AirTAC switches. If sizing up or down, neighbouring bores are 40mm (628N push @0.5 MPa) and 25mm (if available), but the 32mm bore yields 402N push and 345N pull at 0.5 MPa. Because this is a plain cylinder, the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it cannot hold a load. For battery stacking or tabbing fixtures needing dead-stop holding, select the SAIL or BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI32X80S
- ✓ 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-SI32X80S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI32X80S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAI32X80S. It features the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and mounting accessories. The B06- prefix simply designated it for battery manufacturing; the SAI replacement is mechanically identical.
The 32mm bore features a G1/8 air port and M10x1.25 rod thread. Force output is 402N push and 345N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563N push at 0.7 MPa, 724N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 82kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
