This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-SAID40X175, 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.

The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X175 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 175mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B06-SAID40X175, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID40X175 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston. This means both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 528 N (@0.5 MPa). The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID40X175, mechanically identical to it for cell and pack assembly lines. This SID model is discontinued and end-of-life.
The direct replacement is the SAID40X175, sharing the same G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface. The SAI family uses an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Note this SKU lacks a -S magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch.

The B06-SAID40X175 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Legacy SI-family variants: SID (double rod), SIJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAI equivalent (SID→SAID, SIJ→SAIJ). Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B).
Equal push and pull force precisely aligns and stacks battery cells during module assembly, preventing rotation throughout the 175mm stroke.
The extending back rod drives a secondary welding clamp for battery tabs, synchronizing two operations from one G1/4 ported cylinder body.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID40X175, specify the SAID40X175 directly—it is a direct swap retaining the 40mm bore, 175mm stroke, G1/4 port, and 27mm adjustable cushion. When sizing both ways, verify the equal 528 N force (@0.5 MPa) meets your push and pull requirements; if more force is needed, step up to the 50mm bore, or drop to 32mm for lighter loads. Choose a double-rod design when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. Mounting options include FA, LB, and TC brackets. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, sensing requires external methods. For stroke lengths of 300mm or greater, carefully manage side-load alignment to prevent guide wear. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID40X175 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SID40X175) is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID40X175. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 175mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal-both-ways force. The SAI replacement also adds an upgraded piston seal for longer life.
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 thread is M12x1.25, and it operates at 30-800 mm/s. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it does not hold the load on air loss.
