This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-SAID40X600, 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-SID40X600 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 600mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B06-SAID40X600, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID40X600 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the "B06-" prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID40X600, mechanically identical in every spec. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (528 N @0.5 MPa). This model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID40X600, which shares the same G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and 27 mm adjustable cushion. The SAI family upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
Because force is equal both ways, the rear rod can carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool without force loss. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

The B06-SAID40X600 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 both-ways force precisely indexes prismatic battery cells during stacking, while the second rod can mechanically sync a parallel pusher without force differential.
Drives dual-sided conveyor pop-up transfers on battery module lines, using the double-rod geometry to prevent rotation and maintain exact alignment over the 600 mm stroke.
Applies 528 N of consistent equal-both-ways force for busbar tab welding fixtures, ensuring flat contact on battery packs without the larger push of a single-rod cylinder.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID40X600, specify the SAID40X600 directly—it is a direct match for the ISO 15552 interface, 40 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, and G1/4 port. Size both ways by verifying the equal force (528 N @0.5 MPa) meets your needs; if marginally short, step up to the 50 mm bore (825 N @0.5 MPa), or step down to 32 mm (345 N) if overspecified. Choose a double-rod configuration when you need anti-rotation, a back rod for a sensor cam, or to drive two tools. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. As this is a non-magnetized SKU, sensors cannot be fitted. For the 600 mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID40X600 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID40X600. The "B06-" prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID40X600, so the SAID40X600 matches its 40 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface perfectly. The SAI family also adds upgraded Y-shaped piston seals.
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 adjustable cushion is 27 mm. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
