This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X25S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X25S 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-SID50X25S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X25S 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-SAID50X25S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X25S
The AirTAC B06-SID50X25S 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 SID50X25S. 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. The bore is 50 mm, the port is G1/4, and it includes a -S magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X25S, sharing the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, stroke, and force.
The SAID upgrade features an improved 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 the 825 N @0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of ~42 kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For held battery loads, use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X25S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise, anti-rotation stacking of battery cells during module assembly, ensuring stable alignment without rotational drift.
Tab Handling Transfer
Drives dual-tool end effectors on a conveyor line to pick and place battery tabs, leveraging the double-rod's equal push/pull force for consistent tension.
Pack Alignment Station
Indexes battery packs on the assembly line using the G1/4 port and 825 N @0.5 MPa force, maintaining precise positioning via the ISO 15552 interface.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X25S with the B06-SAID50X25S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X25S, drop in the SAID50X25S directly—it preserves the 50mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting footprint (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Size both ways by confirming the 825 N @0.5 MPa equal force is sufficient, or step up to the 63mm bore for higher loads. A double-rod design is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. The -S magnet enables position sensing. Because the stroke is under 300mm, side-load rod deflection is minimal. Note that the SAI family adds SAIF (built-in valve) and BSAI (clamp-lock) variants absent in the SI line.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X25S
- ✓ 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-SID50X25S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X25S (battery-manufacturing dedicated SID50X25S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X25S. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal-both-ways force, but uses an upgraded piston seal and current AirTAC switches.
Force is equal both ways: 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s. The air cushion is 30mm at each end. Remember, the cushion only decelerates; it does not hold the load on air loss—use an external rod lock for held loads.
