This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI40X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI40X75S 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-SI40X75S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X75S 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-SAI40X75S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X75S
The AirTAC B06-SI40X75S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI40X75S, mechanically identical to the base model with a 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port, and 628N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI40X75S, a true drop-in sharing the same interface, bore, stroke, output force, and port.
The SAI upgrade features a refined piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 377N (about 60% of the 628N push force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of 32kg with a 2:1 margin. The SAI family also introduces lock and valve variants the SI lacked, such as the SAIL, BSAI, and SAIF models.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAI40X75S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The B06-SAI40X75S produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X75S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 628N push force at 0.5 MPa to align and press battery cell layers during module stacking operations.
Tab Handling
Uses the 75mm stroke and integrated magnet for position sensing to move electrode tabs along the production line.
Pack Diverting
Diverts battery packs on conveyors with a safe working load of 377N, ensuring smooth sorting without mechanical overload.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI40X75S with the B06-SAI40X75S
To replace the B06-SI40X75S, order the SAI40X75S drop-in. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT), and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches). For loads needing 879N at 0.7 MPa, step up to a 50mm bore; for lighter duty, a 32mm bore provides 402N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use a pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for load holding. The 75mm stroke is short, so rod-bending side loads are minimal, but always guide the load.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI40X75S
- ✓ 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-SI40X75S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI40X75S (battery-manufacturing dedicated SI40X75S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI40X75S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, force, and G1/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 40mm bore features a G1/4 air port and M12x1.25 rod thread. Forces are 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879N push at 0.7 MPa, 1130N at 0.9 MPa, and a max of 128kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-800mm/s.
