This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI50X100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI50X100 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-SI50X100
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 100mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI50X100, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X100
The AirTAC B06-SI50X100 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SI50X100. It delivers 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 50 mm bore and 100 mm stroke.
AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI50X100 drop-in. The SAI shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/4 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread, but adds an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure. Note this no-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor. A computed insight: safe working load is ~589 N (60% of 982 N), giving a ~50 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAI50X100 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The B06-SAI50X100 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-SI50X100 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies consistent 982 N pressure at 0.5 MPa for lithium-ion prismatic cell stacking and alignment operations.
Module Handling
Transfers battery modules along assembly lines, utilizing the 100 mm stroke for precise indexing and positioning.
Tab Welding Clamp
Secures battery tabs during laser welding, relying on the 825 N pull force at 0.5 MPa for stable fixture clamping.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X100 with the B06-SAI50X100
To replace the B06-SI50X100, order the SAI50X100. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the 100 mm stroke, and the G1/4 port. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor; if position detection is needed, specify an SAI50X100S. Sizing both ways: the 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the neighbouring 40 mm bore offers 628 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for load holding use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI50X100
- ✓ 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-SI50X100 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI50X100 battery-manufacturing cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI50X100. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, force, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
The G1/4 port bore delivers a push force of 982 N and a pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa push is 1374 N, and 1767 N at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
