This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI40X200S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI40X200S 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-SI40X200S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X200S 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-SAI40X200S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X200S
The AirTAC B06-SI40X200S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder built for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-dedicated variant of the SI40X200S, mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 40 mm bore, features a G1/4 port, and includes a piston magnet for position sensing.
AirTAC replaced the SI line with the SAI family. The SAI40X200S is a true drop-in replacement: identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 200 mm stroke, output force, and porting. The upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. For your sizing, the safe working load is roughly 377 N (60% of the 628 N push force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The SAI family also adds the SAIL lock, SAIF valve, and BSAI clamp-lock variants the SI lacked.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X200S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in lithium battery cell assembly, utilizing the 628 N push force to press and align delicate cell layers accurately.
Module Handling
Actuates diverters and positioning stops on conveyor lines for battery module transfer, relying on the 32 kg vertical lift margin for safe component manipulation.
Tab Welding Press
Provides consistent clamping pressure for battery tab welding fixtures, with the G1/4 port ensuring rapid actuation within the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X200S with the B06-SAI40X200S
To replace this discontinued cylinder, order the SAI40X200S. Confirm your ISO 15552 mounting fixture, 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT thread), and the -S magnet requirement for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The SAI uses current AirTAC switches. Sizing both ways: the 40 mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the neighbouring 50 mm bore offers 982 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. With a 200 mm stroke, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI40X200S
- ✓ 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-SI40X200S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI40X200S battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAI40X200S. It features the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, output force, and G1/4 port. The B06- prefix was an industry designation only, so the SAI40X200S matches all physical specs.
The 40 mm bore uses a G1/4 air port and a 16 mm rod. 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 maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
