This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X250 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X250 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-SID50X250
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X250 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 250mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X250, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X250
The AirTAC B06-SID50X250 is a discontinued ISO 15552 double-acting double-rod cylinder built for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID50X250. 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. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X250, matching the 50mm bore, 250mm 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. Buyers gain a safe working load of ~495 N (60% of the 825 N @0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of ~42 kg with a 2:1 margin. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a switch. Note that air cushions only decelerate; for load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

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-SAID50X250 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-SID50X250 Is Used
Cell Stacking Alignment
Applies equal push/pull force from both rods to precisely align and stack battery cells during module assembly without rotational drift.
Pack Transfer Unit
Drives a dual-sided transfer mechanism on a battery pack conveyor, using the second rod to carry a mechanical cam for synchronized part ejection.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable, equal-force clamping for battery tab welding operations, ensuring consistent contact pressure across the joint.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X250 with the B06-SAID50X250
Replace the discontinued B06-SID50X250 directly with the SAID50X250, reusing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC) and G1/4 port. Size both ways by checking equal force: the 50mm bore delivers 825 N @0.5 MPa, so step up to a 63mm bore (1402 N) or down to a 40mm bore (528 N) if your application requires more or less push/pull force. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or need to drive two tools simultaneously from one piston. As this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support magnetic sensing. For this 250mm stroke, ensure the side-load is minimized to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X250
- ✓ 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-SID50X250 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X250 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID50X250) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X250, which shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 250mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal-both-ways force. The SAI family also adds upgraded piston 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, the rod is Ø20 mm with an M16x1.5 thread, and speed is 30-800 mm/s. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a 30mm adjustable cushion at each end.
