This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI50X1000 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI50X1000 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-SI50X1000
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X1000 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI50X1000, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X1000
The AirTAC B06-SI50X1000 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI50X1000, mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/4 port.
This end-of-life unit is replaced by the SAI50X1000 drop-in. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure, and introduces SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. Note this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor. Based on the 982 N push force, expect a safe working load of ~589 N or a ~50 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X1000 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies consistent 982 N force for stacking electrode sheets in prismatic cell assembly, though external guides are essential for the 1000mm stroke.
Module Transfer
Drives long-trail handling of battery modules along the conveyor line, utilizing the 1000mm extension to push packs between stations.
Tab Welding Clamp
Positions and holds battery tabs for laser welding, requiring external pilot check valves since the plain cylinder cannot maintain clamp force without live air.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X1000 with the B06-SAI50X1000
To replace the B06-SI50X1000, order the SAI50X1000 keeping the exact 50mm bore, 1000mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B switches; order a magnet-equipped SAI if sensing is needed. For sizing, a 40mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 63mm bore yields 1559 N. The 1000mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. The air cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not hold the load. For dead-load holding on battery assembly lines, use the SAIL lock variant, BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI50X1000
- ✓ 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-SI50X1000 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI50X1000 battery-manufacturing cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI50X1000. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 1000mm stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and accessories, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 50mm bore features a G1/4 air port and M16x1.5 rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 982 N push and 825 N pull force. Push force is 1374 N at 0.7 MPa and 1767 N at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
