This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B04-SAID100X250 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B04-SAID100X250 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 B04-SID Construction Machinery Special ISO Standard Cylinder B04-SID100X250
The AirTAC Airtac B04-SID Construction Machinery Special ISO Standard Cylinder B04-SID100X250 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 250mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B04-SAID100X250, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B04-SID Construction Machinery Special ISO Standard Cylinder B04-SID100X250
The AirTAC B04-SID100X250 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B04- prefix marks it as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the base SID100X250, mechanically identical to it. Because a rod exits both ends on one piston, both faces use the rod-side area, meaning push and pull force are equal at 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. This model is discontinued and the drop-in replacement is the SAID100X250, sharing the same G1/2 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 36 mm adjustable cushion. The double-rod design prevents rotation and lets the back rod drive a second tool, while the SAI upgrade uses a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure.
When sizing this 100 mm bore cylinder, the equal-both-ways force yields a safe working load of about 2209 N (60% of the 3681 N @0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of roughly 188 kg with a 2:1 margin. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa with proof at 1.5 MPa, and standard temperature is -20 to +70 C. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch. A plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

Where the Airtac B04-SID Construction Machinery Special ISO Standard Cylinder B04-SID100X250 Is Used
Excavator Linkage Actuation
Uses the equal both ways force and anti-rotation rigidity of the double rod to drive synchronized positioning links on heavy construction machinery without twist.
Crusher Feed Gate
Employs the back rod end to mount a secondary mechanical stop, applying 5153 N @0.7 MPa to hold material flow gates on aggregate processing equipment.
Loader Boom Sync
Balances parallel loader arms by pushing and pulling with identical 3681 N @0.5 MPa force, preventing uneven wear in harsh construction environments.
Replacing the Airtac B04-SID Construction Machinery Special ISO Standard Cylinder B04-SID100X250 with the B04-SAID100X250
To replace the discontinued B04-SID100X250, install the drop-in SAID100X250, which preserves the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, 250 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and equal-both-ways force. Size both directions by checking neighbor bores if you need more or less power, but the 100 mm bore delivers 3681 N @0.5 MPa equally on push and pull. A double-rod cylinder is right when you need anti-rotation stability or want to drive two tools from one piston. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot use sensors. For this 250 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for strokes >=300 mm ensure guide alignment to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B04-SAID100X250
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac B04-SID Construction Machinery Special ISO Standard Cylinder B04-SID100X250 FAQ
Yes, the B04-SID100X250 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID100X250. The B04- prefix simply marks it as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of SID100X250, so the SAID100X250 matches it mechanically with the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting.
Force is equal both ways at 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 100 mm with a G1/2 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 36 mm cushion. Safe working load is ~2209 N. It lacks a -S magnet so it cannot take sensors.
