This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI40X450S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI40X450S 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-SI40X450S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X450S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 450mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI40X450S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X450S
The AirTAC B06-SI40X450S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI40X450S, mechanically identical to the standard model with a 40mm bore, 450mm stroke, and 628N push force at 0.5MPa. Because the SI line is end-of-life, buyers must order the exact drop-in replacement: SAI40X450S.
The SAI replacement shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/4 port, and M12x1.25 rod thread, fitting existing fixtures perfectly. It upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure. For your sizing, the safe working load is roughly 377N (60% of the 628N push force), translating to a 32kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that the standard cylinder lacks load-holding; explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants if battery cell handling requires drift prevention.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X450S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives stacking mechanisms in cell assembly lines, utilizing the 450mm stroke to layer battery cells accurately while managing the 377N safe working load.
Module Handling
Transfers battery modules along conveyors. The ISO 15552 interface allows seamless SAI40X450S drop-in replacement without modifying existing machine profiles.
Tab Welding Press
Applies controlled clamping force for battery tab welding. Ensure external guides support the 450mm stroke to prevent rod deflection during the weld cycle.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X450S with the B06-SAI40X450S
To replace the B06-SI40X450S, order the SAI40X450S. It is a true drop-in per ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, retaining the 40mm bore, 450mm stroke, G1/4 port, and M12x1.25 thread. Confirm your port thread (PT/G/NPT) and mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, though the SAI family uses current AirTAC switches. For sizing, a 40mm bore yields 628N push at 0.5MPa; if undersized, step up to a 50mm bore (982N). Because the 450mm stroke is long, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. For battery pack assembly requiring held loads, note that air cushions only decelerate; select the SAIL lock or an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI40X450S
- ✓ 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-SI40X450S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI40X450S (battery-manufacturing dedicated SI40X450S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI40X450S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 450mm stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and M12x1.25 rod thread, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 40mm bore features a G1/4 air port. At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull force. At 0.7MPa push is 879N, and at 0.9MPa it is 1130N. The theoretical maximum force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa. Speed ranges from 30-800mm/s.
