This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-SAID40X600S, 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-SID40X600S 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-SAID40X600S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID40X600S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID40X600S. Because a rod exits both ends on one piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 528 N @0.5 MPa, 739 N @0.7 MPa, and 950 N @0.9 MPa. This model is discontinued and the direct replacement is the SAID40X600S, which retains the 40mm bore, 600mm stroke, G1/4 port, and M12x1.25 rod thread.
The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam for the installed -S magnet (compatible with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches). The SAI replacement family also introduces an upgraded piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required to hold loads on air loss.

The B06-SAID40X600S 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 drives precise electrode stacking and separation in cell assembly, using the back rod for a sensor cam to track position.
Anti-rotation stability provided by the double-rod design ensures straight pushing and pulling of battery modules along conveyor lines without torsional deflection.
Drives dual tooling stations simultaneously for battery pack tabbing and welding operations, maintaining alignment over the 600mm stroke.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID40X600S, use the direct replacement SAID40X600S, which matches the ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and G1/4 port. Because force is equal both ways, size it by checking both directions against your load; if 528 N @0.5 MPa is insufficient, step up to the 50mm bore. A double-rod cylinder is the right choice when you need anti-rotation resistance or want to drive two tools simultaneously. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC styles. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For this 600mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending and manage side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID40X600S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID40X600S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically, it is identical to the standard SID40X600S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and G1/4 port.
As 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 40mm with a G1/4 air port, a 16mm piston rod, and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, and speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
