This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X50S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X50S 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-SID50X50S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X50S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 50mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X50S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X50S
The AirTAC B06-SID50X50S 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 SID50X50S. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal at 825 N @0.5 MPa. The bore is 50 mm, the port is G1/4, and it includes an -S piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. This SID model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X50S.
The SAID50X50S shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and G1/4 port, but uses an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer 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. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads 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-SID50X50S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise, anti-rotation stacking of battery cells during module assembly, ensuring consistent alignment without rotational drift.
Tabbing Transfer
Drives two synchronized tooling ends to pick and place battery tabs simultaneously, cutting cycle time in high-speed battery pack production lines.
Module Handling
Uses the rear rod to carry a sensor cam for precise position tracking while the front rod pushes battery modules onto conveyor belts.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X50S with the B06-SAID50X50S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X50S, select the drop-in SAID50X50S, which preserves the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. Because force is equal both ways, you can size both directions identically; if upgrading to a neighbour bore, verify the equal push/pull force matches your requirement. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability, to mount a sensor cam on the back rod, or to drive two tools simultaneously. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC. The -S suffix ensures a piston magnet is present for sensors. For this 50 mm stroke, side-load concerns are minimal, but for any stroke >=300 mm, ensure proper guide support to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X50S
- ✓ 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-SID50X50S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X50S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X50S. The B06- prefix only designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SID50X50S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 50 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and force, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
Force is equal both ways due to the double-rod design: 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is G1/4. The safe working load is ~495 N (60% of the 825 N @0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of ~42 kg with a 2:1 margin.
