This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI40X175 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI40X175 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-SI40X175
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X175 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 175mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI40X175, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X175
The AirTAC B06-SI40X175 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder, delivering 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SI40X175. AirTAC replaced it with the SAI40X175 drop-in, matching the 40 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G1/4 port and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. For this bore, safe working load is roughly 377 N (about 60% of the 628 N push force) and vertical lift is about 32 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot take a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X175 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies consistent 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa for stacking electrode sheets in battery cell assembly.
Module Handling
Transfers battery modules along the line with a 175 mm stroke, fitting existing ISO 15552 fixtures.
Tab Welding Clamp
Clamps battery tabs for welding; vertical lift capacity is approximately 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X175 with the B06-SAI40X175
To replace the B06-SI40X175, order the SAI40X175. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT) and mounting accessory. This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot support a sensor; order an SAI with -S if position detection is needed. At 0.5 MPa it yields 628 N push / 528 N pull; neighbouring bores are 32 mm (402 N) and 50 mm (982 N). The cushion only decelerates; for load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. For 175 mm strokes, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI40X175
- ✓ 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-SI40X175 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI40X175 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI40X175. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 40 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 628 N force, G1/4 port and mounting interface. The B06- prefix simply denotes the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SI40X175.
The G1/4 port is fixed by the 40 mm bore. 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, and a theoretical maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
