This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI40X100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI40X100 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-SI40X100
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI40X100, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X100
The AirTAC B06-SI40X100 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI40X100, mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 16 mm rod and G1/4 port.
You must replace this end-of-life unit with the SAI40X100. The SAI is a true drop-in upgrade sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force and port. It features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The plain version here lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a sensor; legacy SI -S versions used CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For safe sizing, expect a working load around 377 N (about 60% of the 628 N push force) and a vertical lift capacity near 32 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X100 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa for aligning and pressing prismatic battery cells during module stacking, utilizing the 100 mm stroke for precise closure.
Tab Handling & Sorting
Drives transfer arms on conveyor lines to move cell carriers and sort modules, fitting the ISO 15552 mounting interface into existing battery line fixtures.
Pack Alignment Stop
Acts as a hard stop for battery pack alignment during banding or wire bonding, where the 377 N safe working load securely resists pack inertia.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X100 with the B06-SAI40X100
To replace the B06-SI40X100, order the SAI40X100. It drops directly into existing fixtures via the ISO 15552 mounting interface, matching the 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and M12x1.25 rod thread. Because this specific SKU has no -S suffix, it cannot accept a magnetic sensor; if position feedback is needed, select an SAI40X100S and use current AirTAC switches. For sizing, the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa handles a safe working load of roughly 377 N, but if you need more force, step up to the 50 mm bore (982 N push). Remember that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the adjustable 27 mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. For load holding on battery line Z-axis handling, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI40X100
- ✓ 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-SI40X100 FAQ
Yes, the SI series is discontinued. Replace the B06-SI40X100 with the SAI40X100. It is a true drop-in upgrade with the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 628 N force, and G1/4 port. The B06- prefix simply designates the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, and the SAI replacement matches all physical specs.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628 N push and 528 N pull force, rising to 879 N push at 0.7 MPa and 1130 N at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa), speeds of 30-800 mm/s, and uses a G1/4 port with a 16 mm rod. The standard temperature range is -20 to +70 C, but a Viton H seal option extends this to 0-150 C.
