This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-SAID40X50, 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-SID40X50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 50mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B06-SAID40X50, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The B06-SID40X50 is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SID40X50 double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it for cell, module, and pack assembly lines, but mechanically it is identical to the base model. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal at 528 N @0.5 MPa. This double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool. This SID model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID40X50, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/4 port, and M12x1.25 rod thread.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no magnet and cannot take a sensor. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 27 mm cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For held loads, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

The B06-SAID40X50 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).
Applies equal both-ways force for precise electrode stacking in battery cell assembly, using the dual rods to prevent platform rotation.
Drives dual pickers on a battery module line where the back rod simultaneously pushes a secondary transfer mechanism at the same speed.
Provides consistent clamping on battery pack housings, ensuring even pressure during sealing operations without load drift.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID40X50, specify the SAID40X50. It is a direct: matching 40 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Size both ways using the equal push/pull force: 528 N @0.5 MPa, 739 N @0.7 MPa, 950 N @0.9 MPa. If shifting loads, neighbor bores (32 mm or 50 mm) offer different force profiles. A double-rod cylinder is right when you need equal force both ways, anti-rotation stability, or a back rod for a cam. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take switches. For strokes >=300 mm, verify side-load limits.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID40X50 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SID40X50) is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID40X50, sharing the same ISO 15552 interface, 40 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal both-ways force.
It is a double-acting double-rod cylinder with equal force 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 speed is 30-800 mm/s. It has no magnet (-S omitted) so it cannot use sensors.
