This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-SAID40X160S, 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-SID40X160S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X160S 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-SAID40X160S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X160S
The AirTAC B06-SID40X160S 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 SID40X160S. Because a rod exits both ends on one piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 528 N @0.5 MPa, 739 N @0.7 MPa, and 950 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 16 mm rod, M12x1.25 thread, G1/4 port, 27 mm cushions, and a max speed of 30-800 mm/s. This legacy model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID40X160S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface and adds an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure.
The rear rod can carry a sensor cam to drive two tools simultaneously while resisting rotation. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAI replacement uses current AirTAC switches). Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X160S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies balanced equal-both-ways clamping for prismatic cell stacking, using the rear rod to trigger a reed sensor cam at precise intervals.
Module Transfer
Drives dual pushers on a battery module assembly conveyor, leveraging the anti-rotation property of the double-rod layout to prevent binding.
Tab Welding Feed
Indexes copper foils for tab welding with a safe 317 N working load, ensuring stable alignment without twisting during the weld cycle.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X160S with the B06-SAID40X160S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID40X160S, specify the SAID40X160S direct: it matches the 40 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting footprint (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) without mechanical changes. Size both directions by the equal force (528 N @0.5 MPa); if more power is needed, step up to the 50 mm bore, or drop to 32 mm for lighter duties. A double-rod design is correct when you need anti-rotation stability or a rear rod to mount a sensor cam. Keep the -S magnet for switch mounting. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify side-load bearing limits. For battery line loads that must not drift on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID40X160S
- ✓ 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-SID40X160S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID40X160S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID40X160S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID40X160S. The SAID replacement shares the exact same ISO 15552 interface, 40 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal force, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
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, the rod is 16 mm with an M12x1.25 thread, and it includes 27 mm adjustable cushions. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
