This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI50X175 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI50X175 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-SI50X175
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X175 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 175mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI50X175, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X175
The AirTAC B06-SI50X175 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI50X175, mechanically identical to the base model. Delivering 982 N push at 0.5 MPa through a 50 mm bore, it is succeeded by the SAI50X175 drop-in replacement.
The SAI50X175 shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/4 port, and 175 mm stroke. The upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. Note this non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; for load holding, use the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock variants.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAI50X175 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-SAI50X175 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-SI50X175 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa to align and press lithium-ion prismatic cells cleanly during automated stacking operations.
Module Handling
Transfers battery modules along the assembly line using the 175 mm stroke, fitting existing ISO 15552 fixture dimensions seamlessly.
Tab Welding Clamp
Holds battery tabs securely in position for laser welding, relying on the adjustable 30 mm air cushions to decelerate smoothly.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X175 with the B06-SAI50X175
To replace the B06-SI50X175, order the SAI50X175 drop-in. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G1/4 port, and the M16x1.5 rod thread. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; order an -S version if position feedback is needed. The 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa (safe working load ~589 N, vertical lift ~50 kg). If undersized, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N; if oversized, the 40 mm gives 628 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant to hold loads. At 175 mm stroke, guide external rods to prevent side-load bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI50X175
- ✓ 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-SI50X175 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI50X175 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI50X175. It features the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, output force, and G1/4 port. The B06- prefix simply denotes the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, and the SAI replacement matches these specs perfectly.
The bore is 50 mm with a G1/4 air port and M16x1.5 rod thread. Force ratings are: push 982 N and pull 825 N at 0.5 MPa, push 1374 N at 0.7 MPa, push 1767 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s. This yields a safe working load of roughly 589 N and a vertical lift capacity of about 50 kg.
