This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI50X200S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI50X200S 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-SI50X200S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X200S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 200mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI50X200S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X200S
The AirTAC B06-SI50X200S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI50X200S, mechanically identical to the base model. Delivering 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 50 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, it is now superseded by the SAI50X200S. This drop-in replacement shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/4 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread.
The SAI upgrade features a modernized piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. For battery line integration, the safe working load is roughly 589 N (about 60% of the 982 N figure), allowing a vertical lift of approximately 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The original -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family expands options with SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI variants.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X200S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies the 982 N push force for aligning and stacking prismatic battery cells, utilizing the 200 mm stroke to maintain precise spacing in module assembly.
Pack Handling Transfer
Moves battery packs along manufacturing conveyors with a safe working load of 589 N, ensuring smooth transitions without overloading the 50 mm bore mechanism.
Tab Welding Positioning
Provides rigid, repeatable clamping for battery tab welding operations, relying on the adjustable 30 mm air cushions to decelerate the rod smoothly at stroke ends.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X200S with the B06-SAI50X200S
To replace the B06-SI50X200S, order the SAI50X200S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, preserving the 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 982 N force, G1/4 port, and mounting fixtures. Confirm your thread option (PT, G, or NPT) and mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). The -S magnet on this SKU allows legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; the SAI replacement uses current AirTAC switches. If sizing up or down, neighboring bores are 40 mm (628 N) and 63 mm (1559 N) at 0.5 MPa. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for battery stacking or vertical lifting, use the SAIL lock, BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot check valve. For this 200 mm stroke, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI50X200S
- ✓ 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-SI50X200S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI50X200S (battery-manufacturing dedicated SI50X200S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAI50X200S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
