This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X25 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X25 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-SID50X25
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X25 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 25mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X25, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X25
The AirTAC B06-SID50X25 is a discontinued double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID50X25. A rod exits both ends on one 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 50mm bore, 20mm rod, M16x1.5 thread, 30mm adjustable cushions, G1/4 port, and 30-800 mm/s speed. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X25, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface and adds an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure.
Because the rod extends through both ends, the cylinder resists rotation and can drive two tools simultaneously or carry a sensor cam on the back rod. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 495 N (60% of the 825 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For held loads, use an external rod lock, pilot-operated check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X25 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force and anti-rotation stability make this double-rod cylinder ideal for precise alignment and pressing during prismatic cell stacking operations.
Dual-Side Tab Welding
Drives two opposing welding heads simultaneously from a single piston, ensuring perfectly synchronized contact on battery module busbar tabbing.
Pack Handling Transfer
The through-rod design provides a rigid push-pull action for transferring battery packs between conveyor belts without stroke deflection.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X25 with the B06-SAID50X25
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X25, specify the SAID50X25 drop-in: it matches the 50mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/4 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and ISO 15552 mounting footprint (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) with zero mechanical changes. Size both ways by confirming the equal force (825 N @0.5 MPa) meets your push and pull requirements, or step to neighbouring bores (40mm or 63mm) if you need less or more power. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability, dual-tool driving, or a back-rod sensor cam. Select the -S magnet option if you require position sensing, as this base SKU cannot accept switches. For strokes of 300mm or longer, carefully manage side-load alignment to prevent rod binding. Remember that air cushions only decelerate; they do not hold loads without live air.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X25
- ✓ 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-SID50X25 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X25 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID50X25) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X25. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal both-ways force, but adds an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way element piston seal for longer life and lower start-up pressure.
Being a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull forces are 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 approximately 495 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), allowing a vertical lift of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin.
