This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI50X700S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI50X700S 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-SI50X700S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X700S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 700mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI50X700S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X700S
The AirTAC B06-SI50X700S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI50X700S, mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 50 mm bore and 700 mm stroke.
AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI50X700S drop-in. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The G1/4 port, M16x1.5 thread, and 30 mm cushions are unchanged. Safe working load is ~589 N (60% of [email protected]), allowing ~50 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X700S Is Used
Cell Stacking Handling
Moves battery cell layers during automated stacking and assembly processes using the 700 mm extended stroke.
Module Transfer
Pushes battery modules along conveyor lines between testing stations, utilizing the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Pack Alignment
Positions battery packs within fixtures for tab welding, ensuring precise alignment over the long travel distance.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI50X700S with the B06-SAI50X700S
To replace this B06-SI50X700S, order the SAI50X700S keeping the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. If you need more force, the 63 mm bore gives 1559 N [email protected]; if less, the 40 mm gives 628 N. For this 700 mm stroke, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—use the SAIL lock, BSAI clamp-lock, or a pilot check valve to hold loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAI50X700S
- ✓ 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-SI50X700S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SI50X700S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI50X700S. The SAI maintains the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, output force, and G1/4 port, fitting existing battery-manufacturing fixtures perfectly.
The 50 mm bore features a G1/4 air port and M16x1.5 rod thread. It provides 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, 1767 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
