This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X250S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X250S 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.

The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X250S 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-SAID50X250S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID50X250S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on a single piston. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SID50X250S. Because both faces use the rod-side area, push and pull force are equal at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. It features a Ø20 mm rod, M16x1.5 thread, G1/4 port, and 30 mm adjustable cushions. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X250S.
The SAI replacement retains the ISO 15552 mounting interface but uses an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The double-rod design prevents rotation and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam. For sizing, the safe working load is ~495 N (60% of the 825 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate; for load holding without live air, use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.

The B06-SAID50X250S 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.

Legacy SI-family variants: SID (double rod), SIJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAI equivalent (SID→SAID, SIJ→SAIJ). Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B).
Applies equal both-ways force for stacking electrode layers in prismatic cell assembly, using the back rod to trigger a sensor cam.
Transfers battery modules between conveyors with anti-rotation stability, ensuring precise placement without torsional deflection.
Clamps battery tabs for laser welding, driving two tools simultaneously while maintaining 825 N of equal force @0.5 MPa.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X250S, use the SAID50X250S. It is a drop-in match for the ISO 15552 interface, 50 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal both-ways force. When sizing, verify both push and pull forces match your requirement (825 N @0.5 MPa); if more force is needed, step up to the 63 mm bore, or drop to the 40 mm bore for lighter loads. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation or must drive two tools. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC. The -S suffix means a magnet is present for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For this 250 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for strokes >=300 mm, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID50X250S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X250S. The B06- prefix denotes the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, and the SAID replacement matches its ISO 15552 interface, 50 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and force. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants.
Force is equal both ways: 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. It uses a G1/4 air port, a Ø20 mm rod with M16x1.5 thread, and 30 mm adjustable cushions. Safe working load is ~495 N. Air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for load holding.
