This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X125S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X125S 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-SID50X125S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X125S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 125mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X125S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X125S
The AirTAC B06-SID50X125S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the leading B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID50X125S, mechanically identical with a 50mm bore, 125mm stroke, and G1/4 air port. Because a rod exits both ends on one piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal (825 N @0.5 MPa). This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X125S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, adjustable 30mm cushions, and M16x1.5 rod thread.
The SAI upgrade features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. For sizing, the equal-both-ways force yields a safe working load of ~495 N (60% of the 825 N @0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of ~42 kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; 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-SID50X125S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies equal both-ways force for prismatic cell stacking and electrode alignment, utilizing the double-rod design to maintain precise parallelism during compression.
Module Transfer Handling
Drives dual-sided pick-and-place mechanisms on battery module assembly lines, where the rear rod simultaneously actuates a sensor cam for position verification.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides anti-rotation stability and equal clamping force for battery tab welding fixtures, ensuring consistent electrode contact without torsional deflection.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X125S with the B06-SAID50X125S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X125S, specify the SAID50X125S (inserting an A after the leading S), which matches the 50mm bore, 125mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need equal force both ways to drive two tools or utilize the back rod for a sensor cam. If sizing up or down, evaluate neighboring bores (40mm or 63mm) while confirming the equal-both-ways force meets your requirement. Retain the -S suffix for the piston magnet. For strokes >=300mm, verify side-load limits to prevent excessive guide wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X125S
- ✓ 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-SID50X125S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X125S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X125S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically, it is identical to the base SID50X125S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 125mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting options.
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 air port is G1/4. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s. Remember, the air cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end; it does not hold the load on air loss.
