This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI40X100S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI40X100S 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-SI40X100S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X100S 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-SAI40X100S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X100S
The AirTAC B06-SI40X100S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder delivering 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 40 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SI40X100S. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI40X100S, a true drop-in sharing the same interface, G1/4 port, and M12x1.25 rod thread.
The SAI upgrade features a modernized piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. For battery line integration, the safe working load is roughly 377 N (about 60% of the 628 N push force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of approximately 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If your cell or module assembly requires load holding on air loss, note that a plain cylinder drifts; you must use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL lock variant.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X100S Is Used
Cell Stacking Assembly
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly, utilizing the 628 N push force to handle electrode sheets with consistent pressure.
Module Handling
Actuates stoppers and lift-and-transfer units on battery module conveyor lines, where the 100 mm stroke provides compact positioning.
Tab Welding Clamp
Applies clamping force for busbar or tab welding operations in pack assembly, benefiting from the adjustable 27 mm air cushions for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X100S with the B06-SAI40X100S
To replace the B06-SI40X100S, order the SAI40X100S. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the 100 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B legacy sensors (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches). Sizing both ways: the 40 mm bore gives 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the neighboring 32 mm bore yields 402 N and the 50 mm bore yields 982 N. For battery manufacturing tabbing or stacking tasks, remember the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it does not hold the load. For locked positions, select the SAIL or BSAI variant, or add an external rod lock.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI40X100S
- ✓ 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-SI40X100S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI40X100S (battery-manufacturing dedicated SI40X100S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAI40X100S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, force, G1/4 port, and mounting accessories.
The 40 mm bore operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a G1/4 air port. Force output is 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879 N push at 0.7 MPa, 1130 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The piston rod is 16 mm with an M12x1.25 thread.
