This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X500 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X500 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-SID50X500
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X500 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 500mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X500, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X500
The AirTAC B06-SID50X500 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 SID50X500. Because a rod exits both ends on a single piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 50mm bore, G1/4 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30mm adjustable cushions at each end. This SID model is discontinued and end-of-life; the direct drop-in replacement is the SAID50X500, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and porting.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool. For sizing, the 825 N @0.5 MPa force yields a safe working load of roughly 495 N (60%) and a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss (cushions only decelerate), so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X500 Is Used
Cell Stacking Assembly
Applies equal both-ways force for precise electrode stacking in battery cell production, using the back rod to synchronize a secondary press tool.
Module Transfer Handling
Anti-rotation double-rod stability moves battery modules between conveyor belts during pack assembly without drift or twisting.
Tab Welding Clamp
Delivers a safe 495 N working load to hold battery tabs firmly in place during ultrasonic welding operations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X500 with the B06-SAID50X500
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X500, swap directly to the SAID50X500; it preserves the 50mm bore, 500mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface without bracket changes. Size both ways by checking the equal 825 N @0.5 MPa force against your load, or step to neighbouring bores (40mm or 63mm) if margins require. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation resistance or a back rod to drive a second mechanism. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts, but because this is a non-magnetized SKU, you cannot fit switches. For the 500mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X500
- ✓ 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-SID50X500 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X500 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X500. The B06- prefix simply denotes the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically, it is identical to the base SID50X500. The SAID50X500 matches its ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 500mm stroke, and G1/4 port.
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 thread is M16x1.5, and it has 30mm adjustable cushions. It lacks a magnet for sensors, and cushions only decelerate; they do not hold loads on air loss.
