This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X300 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X300 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-SID50X300
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X300 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 300mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X300, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X300
The B06-SID50X300 is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder; the B06- prefix marks it for cell and pack assembly lines, mechanically identical to the standard SID50X300. As a double-acting design with a rod exiting both ends, push and pull force are equal at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. This model is discontinued and the direct drop-in replacement is the SAID50X300, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. Because both faces use the rod-side area, the back rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools with anti-rotation stability. Computed buyer insight: 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 this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch, and air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant to hold loads.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X300 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways 1154 N @0.7 MPa force for precision stacking of battery cells, utilizing the double-rod's anti-rotation properties to maintain alignment.
Module Transfer Handling
Drives dual-tool transfer mechanisms on battery module assembly lines, using the rear exiting rod to synchronize opposing actions without load imbalance.
Pack Tab Welding Press
Provides a stable 825 N @0.5 MPa clamping force for battery pack tab welding, where the matching push and pull areas ensure consistent electrode pressure.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X300 with the B06-SAID50X300
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X300, specify the SAID50X300 for an exact drop-in swap retaining the ISO 15552 interface, G1/4 port, and 30 mm adjustable cushions. Size both ways by verifying the 825 N @0.5 MPa equal force meets your requirement; if more force is needed, step up to the 63 mm bore (1402 N @0.5 MPa), or drop to the 40 mm bore (528 N) for lighter duties. A double rod is right when you need equal push/pull force, anti-rotation resistance, or a rear rod to mount a cam. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. For this 300 mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. Without a -S magnet, this SKU cannot use sensors.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X300
- ✓ 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-SID50X300 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X300 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SID50X300) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X300, offering the same ISO 15552 interface, 50 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal force both ways.
Force is equal both ways at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. It uses a G1/4 air port, has a 20 mm rod, and the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant with no mechanical changes to the base cylinder.
