This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI40X200 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI40X200 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-SI40X200
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X200 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI40X200, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X200
The AirTAC B06-SI40X200 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 SI40X200. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI40X200, a true drop-in upgrade retaining the same 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/4 port and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features a refined piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. For battery line integration, expect a safe working load around 377 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) and a vertical lift capacity of roughly 32 kg with a 2:1 margin. This non-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor; legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches only fit the -S version. Note that plain cylinders drift without live air, so use the SAIL lock or a pilot check valve for load holding.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X200 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies consistent 628 N force at 0.5 MPa for aligning prismatic battery cells during the stacking and packaging process.
Module Handling
Drives 200 mm stroke pushers to transfer battery modules between assembly stations without requiring external guides.
Tab Welding Clamp
Holds battery tabs firmly in position for laser welding, utilizing the 16 mm carbon steel rod for rigid actuation.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X200 with the B06-SAI40X200
To replace the B06-SI40X200, order the SAI40X200. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting fixture (LB, FA, TC, etc.) and confirm the G1/4 port. Because this is a non-S SKU, it cannot host a position sensor; if your battery stacking line requires sensing, switch to the SAI40X200S. Size both ways: the 50 mm bore offers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 32 mm bore provides 402 N. A plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss; for vertical tabbing or handling, specify the SAIL air-released lock, the BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot check valve. At 200 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide the rod to prevent bending. The SAI family also offers the SAIF variant with a built-in 4M valve for compact cell assembly.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI40X200
- ✓ 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-SI40X200 FAQ
