This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X400 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X400 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-SID50X400
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X400 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 400mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X400, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X400
The B06-SID50X400 is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID50X400, mechanically identical to the standard double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder. As a double-acting design with a rod exiting both ends, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 825 N @0.5 MPa. The B06- prefix simply denotes its application in cell, module, and pack assembly lines without altering physical specs. This SID model is discontinued and end-of-life; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X400, sharing the same ISO 15552 interface, 50 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting footprint.
The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Because this SKU lacks a -S magnet, it cannot take a magnetic switch. 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 roughly 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X400 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking plates in prismatic cell assembly, using the equal both-ways force to maintain consistent pressure on the anode and cathode layers without drift.
Module Handling Transfer
Actuates a dual-tool gripper on a pack assembly conveyor, where the second rod simultaneously pushes a reject diverter while the primary rod advances modules.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides anti-rotation clamping for battery tab welding fixtures, ensuring the electrode maintains perfect perpendicular alignment during the ultrasonic weld cycle.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X400 with the B06-SAID50X400
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X400, specify the SAID50X400, which is a true drop-in swap retaining the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, and G1/4 port. Size both ways by verifying the equal force (825 N @0.5 MPa) handles your load, or step to neighbouring bores like 40 mm or 63 mm if margins require. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need equal push/pull force, anti-rotation stability, or a back rod to carry a sensor cam. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts directly. Since this non-magnetic SKU cannot support switches, add external sensing if needed. At 400 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X400
- ✓ 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-SID50X400 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X400 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X400. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID50X400; the SAID50X400 is mechanically identical, sharing the same 50 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
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. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
