This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-SAID40X400S, 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-SID40X400S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X400S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 400mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B06-SAID40X400S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X400S
The AirTAC B06-SID40X400S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, 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 SID40X400S, mechanically identical in bore, stroke, and porting (G1/4). This SID model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID40X400S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface and adds an upgraded piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, force is equal both ways (739 N @0.7 MPa, 950 N @0.9 MPa). The rear rod can carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool simultaneously. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X400S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precise cell stacking and unstacking in module assembly, using the rear rod for a synchronous sensor cam without twist.
Tab Handling Transfer
Anti-rotation properties keep grippers aligned during horizontal tab transfer between conveyor belts in battery pack production lines.
Dual-Tool Pressing
The second rod end carries a secondary forming or pressing tool, synchronizing two operations in one cycle for battery casing work.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X400S with the B06-SAID40X400S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID40X400S, swap directly to the SAID40X400S. It preserves the 40 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and 27 mm adjustable cushions. When sizing both ways, verify the equal push/pull force of 528 N (@0.5 MPa) is sufficient; if more force is needed, step up to the 50 mm bore (825 N @0.5 MPa) or down to the 32 mm bore (345 N @0.5 MPa). A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or want to drive two tools from one piston. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts directly via the ISO 15552 interface. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Because stroke is 400 mm, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID40X400S
- ✓ 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-SID40X400S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID40X400S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID40X400S. The B06- prefix only designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the standard SID40X400S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 mounting, bore, stroke, and G1/4 port.
It features a G1/4 air port and provides equal force both ways: 528 N @0.5 MPa, 739 N @0.7 MPa, and 950 N @0.9 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s, and it uses M12x1.25 rod threads with 27 mm adjustable cushions at each end.
