This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI40X600S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI40X600S 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-SI40X600S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X600S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 600mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI40X600S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X600S
The AirTAC B06-SI40X600S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI40X600S, mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 40 mm bore, with a 600 mm stroke and G1/4 port.
AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI40X600S. It is a true drop-in upgrade sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and port size. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. For battery line integration, the safe working load is roughly 377 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of approximately 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The original -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X600S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 879 N push force at 0.7 MPa to align and compress electrode sheets during prismatic cell stacking operations.
Module Transfer
Extends the 600 mm stroke to shuttle battery modules between assembly stations, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending.
Tab Welding Clamp
Holds busbars and cell tabs firmly in position for laser welding, utilizing the 528 N pull force at 0.5 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X600S with the B06-SAI40X600S
To replace the B06-SI40X600S, order the SAI40X600S drop-in equivalent. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, CA, TC, etc.), the 40 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT thread options), and the -S magnet for current AirTAC switches. Sizing alternatives: a 32 mm bore yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 50 mm bore yields 982 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss since the cushion only decelerates; for load holding use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. At 600 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by using an external guide to absorb side loads. Rod material options include carbon steel, SUS420J2 (A) and SUS304 (B).
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI40X600S
- ✓ 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-SI40X600S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI40X600S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI40X600S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, output force, and G1/4 port, fitting existing battery manufacturing fixtures directly. The B06- prefix only denotes the battery industry application, so the SAI replacement matches all physical specs.
The 40 mm bore provides 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879 N push at 0.7 MPa, 1130 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa). Speed is 30-800 mm/s. It features a 16 mm rod, M12x1.25 thread, 27 mm cushion, and a Viton H seal option for up to 150 C.
