This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI40X150 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI40X150 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-SI40X150
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X150 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 150mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI40X150, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X150
The AirTAC B06-SI40X150 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI40X150, mechanically identical to the base model. Delivering 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 40 mm bore, it is replaced by the SAI40X150.
The SAI40X150 is a true drop-in upgrade retaining the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 150 mm stroke, 628 N output, G1/4 port, and M12x1.25 rod thread. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. A computed buyer insight: safe working load is roughly 377 N (60% of [email protected] MPa), equating to a 32 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X150 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa to align and press prismatic battery cells cleanly during module stacking operations.
Module Transfer
Actuates routing gates and pushers on the assembly line, moving battery modules between stations with a 150 mm stroke.
Tab Welding Clamp
Holds battery tabs firmly in position for laser welding, relying on the 528 N pull force at 0.5 MPa for secure clamping.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X150 with the B06-SAI40X150
To replace this discontinued battery-line cylinder, order the SAI40X150. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT thread options), and mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). Because this specific SKU has no magnet, it cannot support position sensing; if needed, order the SAI40X150S instead. Sizing both ways: a 32 mm bore offers 402 N [email protected] MPa, while a 50 mm bore provides 982 N. For battery pack assembly requiring load holding on air loss, note a plain cylinder drifts and its cushion only decelerates; use an external pilot check valve, rod lock, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. At 150 mm stroke, rod bending is low, but ensure guide alignment to prevent side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI40X150
- ✓ 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-SI40X150 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI40X150 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SI40X150) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI40X150. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 40 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
The 40 mm bore features a G1/4 air port and M12x1.25 rod thread. Force ratings are: 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; with a theoretical max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
