This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-SAID40X500S, 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-SID40X500S 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-SAID40X500S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID40X500S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston. The leading B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID40X500S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard line and built for cell, module, and pack assembly lines. Because both faces use the rod-side area, push and pull force are equal at 528 N @0.5 MPa, 739 N @0.7 MPa, and 950 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 40 mm, the port is G1/4, and the rod-end thread is M12x1.25. This SID model is discontinued and the direct replacement is the SAID40X500S.
The SAID40X500S keeps the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and mounting, but uses an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is present for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. A plain cylinder does not hold a load on air loss; the 27 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

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 both-ways force precisely indexes prismatic battery cells during stacking, while the back rod carries a sensor cam to track position without external brackets.
The double-rod anti-rotation特性 keeps battery modules stable during horizontal transfer across conveyor lines, preventing twist during rapid 30-800 mm/s shifts.
Provides stable 528 N @0.5 MPa pressing force for pack assembly components, with the second rod available to sync a secondary tool or ejector motion.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID40X500S, select the SAID40X500S, which is a direct swap retaining the 40 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Size both ways by confirming the equal push/pull force of 528 N @0.5 MPa is sufficient, or step up to a 50 mm bore if more force is needed. A double-rod design is right when you need anti-rotation stability, equal force both ways, or a back rod to carry a sensor cam. Because the stroke is 500 mm, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAI replacement uses current AirTAC switches.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID40X500S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID40X500S. The B06- prefix only marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SID40X500S. The SAID keeps the same ISO 15552 mounting, 40 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and 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 bore is 40 mm, the air port is G1/4, and the rod-end thread is M12x1.25. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed of 30-800 mm/s.
