This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X100S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X100S in place of this model. 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-SID50X100S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X100S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 100mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X100S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X100S
The AirTAC B06-SID50X100S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID50X100S. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push and pull force are equal at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 50 mm bore, G1/4 air port, M16x1.5 rod-end thread, and 30 mm adjustable air cushions at each end. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X100S, sharing the same interface, bore, stroke, force, port and mounting.
The SAI replacement uses an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for long life and low start-up pressure. A double-rod design prevents rotation and lets the back rod carry a sensor cam. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 495 N (60% of the 825 N @0.5 MPa figure), and the vertical lift capacity is about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X100S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force precisely presses and indexes battery cells during stacking, while the second rod drives an external cam for precise sensor positioning.
Module Transfer Handling
The double-rod anti-rotation特性 stabilizes battery modules during lateral transfer across conveyor lines, preventing yaw during high-speed indexing.
Pack Tab Welding
Drives two welding tools simultaneously from one piston, ensuring perfectly synchronized contact force on battery pack tabs without adding extra valves.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X100S with the B06-SAID50X100S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X100S, specify the drop-in SAID50X100S, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC) and G1/4 port. Size both ways by checking neighbour bores while relying on the equal both-ways force of 825 N @0.5 MPa. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation or must drive two tools simultaneously. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For this 100 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for any stroke >=300 mm, verify side-load limits to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X100S
- ✓ 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-SID50X100S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X100S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X100S. The B06- prefix only marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to SID50X100S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 50 mm with a G1/4 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30 mm adjustable cushions. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with speeds of 30-800 mm/s. The safe working load is ~495 N.
