This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X600S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X600S 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-SID50X600S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X600S 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-SAID50X600S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X600S
The AirTAC B06-SID50X600S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, yielding exactly equal push and pull force (825 N at 0.5 MPa). The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SID50X600S. Because the SID line is discontinued, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X600S—matching the 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and M16x1.5 thread. The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life.
With a 600 mm stroke, external guides should support the rod to prevent bending under side loads. The -S suffix provides a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; cushions only decelerate, so use an external rod lock for held loads. Buyer insight: 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.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X600S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force precisely presses and separates battery cell layers during automated stacking, preventing uneven pressure on delicate cell materials.
Module Transfer Handling
The dual-rod anti-rotation特性 stabilizes battery modules during horizontal transfer between conveyor belts, ensuring exact alignment without rotational drift.
Pack Tabbing Press
Drives two opposing tabbing tools simultaneously from a single cylinder, maintaining perfect mechanical synchronization for welding battery pack tabs.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X600S with the B06-SAID50X600S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X600S, install the drop-in SAID50X600S, reusing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC) without bracket changes. Size both directions by the equal-both-ways force: 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, 1484 N @0.9 MPa. If neighbouring bores are evaluated, the 40 mm yields 528 N while the 63 mm yields 1402 N @0.5 MPa. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, a back rod to carry a sensor cam, or to drive two tools. The -S magnet fits legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For the 600 mm stroke, add external guides to manage rod-bending side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X600S
- ✓ 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-SID50X600S FAQ
Yes, the SID series is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X600S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal-both-ways force. The SAI replacement adds an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for longer life.
Force is equal both ways at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is G1/4, speed is 30-800 mm/s, and it features a 20 mm rod with M16x1.5 thread. The B06- prefix denotes the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, sharing these exact specs with the base SID50X600S.
