This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X500S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X500S 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-SID50X500S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X500S 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-SAID50X500S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X500S
The AirTAC B06-SID50X500S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID50X500S. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal (825 N @0.5 MPa). This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X500S, which shares the same G1/4 port, M16x1.5 thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Because the second rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously, it provides excellent anti-rotation. Based on the 825 N force at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is ~495 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~42 kg with a 2:1 margin. The bore uses a G1/4 port, adjustable 30 mm cushions, and a -S magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X500S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force precisely presses and stacks battery cells during module assembly, preventing misalignment via the anti-rotation double rod.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual-tool pushers on a conveyor line to shift battery packs smoothly between stations without torque twist.
Tab Welding Positioning
Uses the rear rod to carry a sensor cam for exact tab welding placement while the front rod actuates the electrode.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X500S with the B06-SAID50X500S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X500S, specify the SAID50X500S, which preserves the 50mm bore, 500mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions for direct interchange. Size both ways by verifying the equal push/pull force against your load, stepping to the 63mm bore if higher force is needed. A double-rod design is right when you need anti-rotation, a back rod for a sensor cam, or dual-tool driving. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. The -S magnet enables position sensing. For the 500mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X500S
- ✓ 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-SID50X500S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X500S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X500S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SID50X500S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 500mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting.
Force is equal both ways at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. It has a G1/4 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and operates at 30-800 mm/s. The safe working load is ~495 N, allowing a ~42 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
