This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-SAID40X500, 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-SID40X500
The AirTAC B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X500 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 500mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B06-SAID40X500, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X500
The AirTAC B06-SID40X500 is a double-acting double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston, making push and pull force equal at 528N @0.5MPa, 739N @0.7MPa, and 950N @0.9MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID40X500, mechanically identical with a 16mm rod, M12x1.25 thread, and G1/4 port. This SID model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID40X500, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface and adds an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, force is equal both ways, preventing the push/pull differential of single-rod units. The back rod can drive a second tool or carry a sensor cam, though this specific non-magnet SKU cannot take a switch. Note that air cushions only decelerate; for load-holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X500 Is Used
Cell Stacking Assembly
Equal both-ways force precisely indexes battery cell stacking plates without push/pull differential, ensuring consistent electrode alignment.
Module Transfer Handling
The double-rod anti-rotation property stabilizes battery modules during lateral transfer across conveyor belts in pack assembly lines.
Tab Welding Clamps
Drives dual-sided welding clamps for battery tabs, using the back rod for synchronous actuation while maintaining a compact ISO 15552 footprint.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID40X500 with the B06-SAID40X500
To replace the discontinued B06-SID40X500, swap directly to the SAID40X500—same 40mm bore, 500mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Size both ways by checking equal force: this bore yields 528N @0.5MPa, so if margins are tight, verify the neighboring 50mm bore (825N @0.5MPa) or 32mm bore (345N @0.5MPa). A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or equal push/pull forces without a single-rod pull drop. Because this is a non-magnet SKU, it cannot take a sensor; if sensing is needed, select an -S model. For the 500mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod-bending side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID40X500
- ✓ 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-SID40X500 FAQ
Yes, the SID line is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID40X500. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the base SID40X500. The SAID40X500 shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 40mm bore, 500mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal force, while adding an upgraded piston seal.
Because it is double-acting double-rod, force is equal both ways: 528N @0.5MPa, 739N @0.7MPa, and 950N @0.9MPa. The port is G1/4. It has a 16mm rod, M12x1.25 thread, and speeds of 30-800 mm/s. It cannot hold a load on air loss; cushions only decelerate.
