This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X200 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X200 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-SID50X200
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X200 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 200mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X200, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X200
The AirTAC B06-SID50X200 is a double-acting double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID50X200. Because a rod exits both ends on one piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 825 N @0.5 MPa. It features a 50 mm bore, G1/4 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30 mm adjustable cushions. This SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot take a sensor.
This SID model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X200. The SAI family uses 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 825 N) and a vertical lift capacity of ~42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder drifts 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-SID50X200 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push and pull force ensures precise alignment when pressing and retracting battery cell layers in module stacking machines.
Dual-Tool Tab Welding
The rear rod drives a secondary sensor cam or parallel tab welding head while the front rod performs the main handling task.
Pack Conveyor Transfer
Anti-rotation stability from the double-rod design keeps battery packs oriented during lateral push-off onto packaging conveyors.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X200 with the B06-SAID50X200
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X200, use the SAID50X200, which matches the ISO 15552 interface, 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal-both-ways force. When sizing both ways, verify your load against the 825 N @0.5 MPa rating, or step up to a 63 mm bore if higher force is needed. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or need to drive two tools from one cylinder. You can reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. Since this SKU lacks a -S magnet, it cannot use sensors. For strokes >=300 mm, verify side-load alignment to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X200
- ✓ 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-SID50X200 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X200 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X200. The B06- prefix only designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SID50X200, sharing the same ISO 15552 interface, 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, and G1/4 port.
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. A safe working load is ~495 N (60% of the 825 N figure).
