This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X150S 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-SID50X150S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X150S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 150mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X150S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X150S
The AirTAC B06-SID50X150S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder built for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-dedicated variant of the base SID50X150S, sharing identical mechanics: a 50mm bore, 150mm stroke, G1/4 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. Because a rod exits both ends, push and pull force are equal at 825N @0.5MPa, 1154N @0.7MPa, and 1484N @0.9MPa. The drop-in replacement is the SAID50X150S, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface and adds an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure.
The double-rod design prevents rod rotation and lets the rear rod carry a sensor cam, while the -S suffix provides a built-in magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Based on the 825N @0.5MPa rating, the safe working load is roughly 495N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 42kg with a 2:1 margin. 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-SID50X150S Is Used
Cell Stacking Alignment
Applies equal both-ways 1154N @0.7MPa force to precisely stack battery cells without rotational drift, utilizing the double-rod anti-rotation property.
Module Transfer Handling
Drives dual-end tooling to push and retract battery modules on the assembly line, benefiting from the symmetrical 825N @0.5MPa push/pull force.
Tab Welding Positioning
Uses the rear rod to carry a sensor cam for precise end-of-stroke confirmation during battery tab welding, leveraging the -S magnet for legacy CS1-B switches.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X150S with the B06-SAID50X150S
To replace this discontinued battery-dedicated cylinder, specify the SAID50X150S. It is a true drop-in swap: same 50mm bore, 150mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Size both directions by the equal-both-ways force: 825N @0.5MPa, 1154N @0.7MPa, 1484N @0.9MPa. If you need more force, the neighboring 63mm bore yields 1402N @0.5MPa. Choose a double-rod configuration when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors (the SAI uses current switches). For this 150mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for any stroke >=300mm, ensure guide alignment to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X150S
- ✓ 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-SID50X150S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X150S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X150S. The B06- prefix only denotes the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically, it is identical to the base SID50X150S. The SAID replacement shares the same 50mm bore, 150mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 825N @0.5MPa, 1154N @0.7MPa, and 1484N @0.9MPa. The air port is G1/4. The safe working load is ~495N (60% of the 0.5MPa force), allowing a vertical lift of ~42kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate; they do not hold loads on air loss.
