This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-SAID32X160, 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-SID32X160
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID32X160 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B06-SAID32X160, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID32X160
The AirTAC B06-SID32X160 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID32X160. Because a rod exits both ends, the push and pull forces are equal at 345 N @0.5 MPa. This SKU lacks a -S magnet and cannot carry a sensor. It uses a G1/8 port, a 12 mm rod, and 27 mm adjustable cushions. The SID line is discontinued, replaced by the direct replacement SAID32X160.
The SAID32X160 successor retains the exact ISO 15552 interface, bore, and stroke, but introduces an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Note that air cushions only decelerate; for load holding on air loss, an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant is required.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID32X160 Is Used
Cell Stacking Alignment
Applies equal both-ways push and pull force to align prismatic battery cells precisely during stacking, preventing rotation.
Module Tab Welding
Drives two welding heads simultaneously from a single piston, ensuring synchronized contact on battery module tabs.
Pack Handling Transfer
Uses the double-rod symmetry to transfer battery packs smoothly between conveyors without yawing or side-play.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID32X160 with the B06-SAID32X160
To replace the discontinued B06-SID32X160, specify the SAID32X160, which matches the 32 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting. Because force is equal both ways, verify your push and pull loads against the 483 N @0.7 MPa rating, stepping up to a 40 mm bore if higher force is needed. A double rod is correct when you need anti-rotation stability, a cam for a sensor on the back rod, or the ability to drive two tools. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. As this unit lacks the -S magnet, sensing is impossible; add an external sensor if needed. For the 160 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for any stroke over 300 mm, ensure guide rails to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID32X160
- ✓ 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-SID32X160 FAQ
Yes, the SID line is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID32X160. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the base SID32X160. The SAID successor shares the same ISO 15552 mounting, 32 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and equal both-ways force, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 345 N @0.5 MPa, 483 N @0.7 MPa, and 621 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is G1/8. Note that this unit has no -S magnet and cannot hold a load without live air; use an external rod lock for held loads.
