This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X600 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X600 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-SID50X600
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X600 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 600mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X600, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X600
The AirTAC B06-SID50X600 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the leading B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID50X600. 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. This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X600, which retains the G1/4 port, M16x1.5 thread, and 600 mm stroke.
The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. For sizing, the 825 N @0.5 MPa force yields a safe working load of roughly 495 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot accept sensors. As a plain cylinder, it will not hold loads on air loss—the 30 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke ends, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X600 Is Used
Cell Stacking Alignment
Applies equal both-ways force to align and press prismatic battery cells during stacking, ensuring flat contact faces without relying on single-rod push dynamics.
Module Tabbing Transfer
Drives dual tooling heads to pick and place busbars during module tabbing, leveraging the double-rod's inherent anti-rotation properties for precise electrode handling.
Pack Conveyor Diverting
Actuates a diverting gate on the battery pack assembly conveyor line, using the 600 mm stroke to route heavy packs while maintaining consistent force in both directions.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X600 with the B06-SAID50X600
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X600, specify the SAID50X600, which offers a true drop-in ISO 15552 interface match without changing your mounting hardware. Because force is equal both ways, size both directions simultaneously; if you need more force, the neighbouring bore 63 provides 1402 N @0.5 MPa, while bore 40 provides 528 N. A double-rod design is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. You can reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. For the 600 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. As a non-magnetic SKU, it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X600
- ✓ 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-SID50X600 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X600 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X600. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID50X600; the SAID50X600 matches its ISO 15552 interface, 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and force.
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 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and has a 30 mm adjustable cushion. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, speed is 30-800 mm/s, and it operates from -20 to +70 C. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take sensors.
