This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X175 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X175 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-SID50X175
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X175 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 175mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X175, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X175
The AirTAC B06-SID50X175 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the battery-manufacturing dedicated B06- prefix denotes an application scenario identical to the base SID50X175. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is 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 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30 mm adjustable cushions at each end. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X175, sharing the same mounting interface, bore, stroke, and porting.
The double-rod design prevents rod-side rotation and allows the rear rod to drive a second tool or sensor cam simultaneously. The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~495 N (about 60% of the 825 N @0.5 MPa figure), and vertical lift is ~42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a sensor switch; for load holding without live air, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant, as cushions only decelerate.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X175 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precision cell stacking and pressing mechanisms in module assembly, ensuring consistent pressure on both extend and retract strokes.
Pack Handling Transfer
The anti-rotation double-rod design securely transfers battery packs along conveyor lines without drift, while the rear rod can operate a secondary cam.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable, equal clamping force for battery tab welding fixtures, with the 30 mm adjustable cushion decelerating the 50 mm bore smoothly at stroke ends.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X175 with the B06-SAID50X175
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X175, use the SAID50X175 drop-in, matching the 50 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting. Size both directions by the equal both-ways force: if 825 N @0.5 MPa is insufficient, step up to the 63 mm bore (1402 N); if oversized, step down to the 40 mm bore (528 N). A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or dual-end tooling. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC. As this is a non-S model, magnetic switches are unsupported. For stroke lengths >=300 mm, verify side-load bearing limits to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X175
- ✓ 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-SID50X175 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X175 is discontinued. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SID50X175, mechanically identical to the base model. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X175, which matches the 50 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface, while adding 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 air port is G1/4. The safe working load is ~495 N at 0.5 MPa. Remember that air cushions only decelerate; they do not hold loads on air loss, so an external rod lock is needed for held loads.
