This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-SAID100X500S, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID100X500S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID100X500S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 500mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B06-SAID100X500S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID100X500S
The AirTAC B06-SID100X500S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, yielding equal push and pull force (3681 N at 0.5 MPa) on the rod-side area. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID100X500S, mechanically identical to it for cell and pack assembly tasks. This SID unit is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID100X500S, sharing the same G1/2 port, M20x1.5 thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
Because both faces use the identical piston area, force is equal both ways, preventing the push-pull differential of single-rod units. The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. Note that air cushions only decelerate; an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant is required to hold loads without live air.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID100X500S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force precisely presses and separates battery cell layers during module stacking without push-pull force deviation.
Dual-Tool Tab Welding
The extending rear rod drives a secondary mechanism or sensor cam, synchronizing tab welding operations on battery pack assembly lines.
Pack Handling Transfer
Anti-rotation properties from the double-rod design securely transfer heavy battery packs between conveyors without rod torsion.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID100X500S with the B06-SAID100X500S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID100X500S, specify the SAID100X500S, which preserves the 100 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and ISO 15552 mounting footprint. Size both directions by verifying the equal-both-ways force fits your load, checking neighboring bores if you need more or less capacity. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability, a back rod to carry a sensor cam, or the ability to drive two tools. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts directly. The -S suffix ensures a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For this 500 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID100X500S
- ✓ 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-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID100X500S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID100X500S (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID100X500S) is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID100X500S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and equal both-ways force, but uses an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal.
Force is equal both ways (push and pull) because both faces use the rod-side area: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. The air port is G1/2, the rod thread is M20x1.5, and speed is 30-800 mm/s.
