This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X160 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X160 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-SID50X160
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X160 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 160mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X160, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X160
The AirTAC B06-SID50X160 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston, ensuring push and pull force are equal (825 N @0.5 MPa). The B06- prefix marks this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SID50X160, mechanically identical to the base model for cell and pack assembly lines. This SID series is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X160, matching the 50mm bore, 160mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. Beyond equal force, the second rod resists rotation and can drive two tools simultaneously. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~495 N (60% of the 825 N @0.5 MPa force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~42 kg with a 2:1 margin. This SKU has no -S magnet and cannot take a sensor.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The B06-SAID50X160 produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X160 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force precisely indexes battery cells during stacking, while the second rod prevents piston rotation to maintain tight pack alignment.
Dual-Side Tab Welding
Drives two welding heads simultaneously from one centerline, ensuring perfectly synchronized tab joining on battery modules.
Pack Line Transfer
Anti-rotation characteristics keep grippers level when transferring battery packs between conveyors without torsional deflection.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X160 with the B06-SAID50X160
To replace the B06-SID50X160, swap it directly with the SAID50X160; it reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC) without bracket changes. Size both directions by the equal-both-ways force: 825 N @0.5, 1154 N @0.7, 1484 N @0.9 MPa. If less force is needed, step down to a 40mm bore (528 N @0.5); if more, step up to 63mm (1402 N @0.5). A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation or dual-tool driving. For stroke >=300mm, verify side-load limits. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so no sensor can be fitted.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X160
- ✓ 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-SID50X160 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X160 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID50X160) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X160, which matches the ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 160mm stroke, G1/4 port, and force. The SAI family also adds upgraded seals and SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
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. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.
