This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-SAID40X160, 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-SID40X160
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X160 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 160mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B06-SAID40X160, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X160
The AirTAC B06-SID40X160 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the rod exits both ends, ensuring push and pull force is equal both ways at 528 N (@0.5 MPa). The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID40X160, mechanically identical to it for cell and pack assembly lines. This bore features a 16 mm rod, M12x1.25 thread, and a G1/4 port. As the SID line is discontinued, the direct replacement is the SAID40X160, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, and stroke.
The SAI upgrade introduces an advanced two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Because the second rod can drive two tools or carry a sensor cam simultaneously, it prevents rotation without extra guides. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot accept switches, and air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X160 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise, anti-rotation pressing and stacking of battery cells during module assembly.
Dual-Side Tab Welding
Drives two opposing welding tools simultaneously from one piston, ensuring perfectly synchronized tab joining.
Pack Handling Transfer
Moves battery packs between conveyor lines using the back rod for a sensor cam while the front rod executes the lift.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X160 with the B06-SAID40X160
To replace the discontinued B06-SID40X160, specify the SAID40X160, which provides a flawless direct swap retaining the exact 40 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions. When sizing both ways, verify the equal 528 N force (@0.5 MPa) meets your requirement, or step to neighbouring bores like 32 mm or 50 mm. A double-rod design is right when you need anti-rotation stability or synchronous dual-tool driving. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts directly. This unit lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot support sensing. For strokes at or above 300 mm, carefully manage side-load alignment to prevent premature seal wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID40X160
- ✓ 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-SID40X160 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID40X160 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID40X160. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID40X160, so the SAID40X160 matches its 40 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting perfectly.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 528 N @0.5 MPa, 739 N @0.7 MPa, and 950 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is G1/4. Remember that cushions only decelerate; they do not hold loads on air loss.
