This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI40X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI40X75 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-SI40X75
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X75 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI40X75, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X75
The AirTAC B06-SI40X75 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder delivering 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 40 mm bore and 75 mm stroke. The leading B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SI40X75 with a G1/4 port and M12x1.25 rod thread. AirTAC replaced this EOL profile cylinder with the SAI40X75, a true drop-in sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and porting.
The SAI40X75 upgrade features a revised piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept a position sensor. For safe sizing, expect a working load around 377 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push force) or a 32 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; for load holding, explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X75 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa to align and press lithium-ion battery cells during module stacking operations.
Tab Feeding & Sorting
Handles the 75 mm stroke to index anode and cathode tabs on the production line, utilizing the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Pack Transfer
Moves battery packs between conveyors using the ISO 15552 mounting interface for straightforward fixture integration.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X75 with the B06-SAI40X75
To replace the discontinued B06-SI40X75, order the SAI40X75. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, and G1/4 port. This no-S SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot support CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; if sensing is needed, order the SAI40X75S. The SAI family also introduces the SAIF (built-in valve) and SAIL/BSAI (lock) variants absent in the SI line. For sizing, neighbouring bores are 32 mm (402 N @0.5 MPa) and 50 mm (982 N @0.5 MPa). A plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI40X75
- ✓ 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-SI40X75 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI40X75 battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI40X75. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 628 N force, and G1/4 port. The B06- prefix simply denoted the battery industry application without altering the physical specs.
The 40 mm bore operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a G1/4 air port and M12x1.25 rod thread. Force output is 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 max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s with 27 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends.
