This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X700 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X700 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.

The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X700 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 700mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X700, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID50X700 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the rod exits both ends, ensuring push and pull force are equal both ways (825 N at 0.5 MPa). The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID50X700, built for cell and pack assembly. This SID model is discontinued and is replaced by the SAID50X700. This drop-in SAI replacement shares the exact 50 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, the equal force prevents rod drift during direction changes, and the rear rod can drive a second tool or sensor cam. The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 495 N (60% of the 825 N at 0.5 MPa), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a -S magnet and cannot accept sensors.

The B06-SAID50X700 produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Legacy SI-family variants: SID (double rod), SIJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAI equivalent (SID→SAID, SIJ→SAIJ). Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B).
Equal both-ways force provides stable, drift-free positioning when stacking battery cells, preventing misalignment during push and pull strokes.
The rear rod drives a secondary sensor cam or handling tool simultaneously, optimizing cycle times on battery module tabbing lines.
Double-rod geometry resists torsional twist during heavy pack assembly, ensuring precise alignment without relying on external guides.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X700, use the SAID50X700 drop-in: it matches the 50 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, G1/4 port, M16x1.5 thread, and ISO 15552 mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Size both ways by checking neighbor bores (32/40/63) to ensure the equal both-ways force (825 N @0.5 MPa) fits your battery line payload. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or dual-tool actuation. For the 700 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side-load. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take switches; for load holding, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant, as cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID50X700 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X700, which shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 50 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal both-ways force. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant.
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, speed is 30-800 mm/s, and cushion is 30 mm. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa. Safe load is ~495 N.
