This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X700S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X700S 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-SID50X700S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X700S 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-SAID50X700S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X700S
The AirTAC B06-SID50X700S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the rod exits both ends, yielding equal force in both directions (825 N at 0.5 MPa). The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID50X700S, mechanically identical to it for cell and pack assembly tasks. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X700S, which reuses the same G1/4 port, M16x1.5 rod 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 both faces use the rod-side area, the back rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously without rotation drift. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 495 N (60% of the 825 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for load holding on air loss.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The B06-SAID50X700S 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.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X700S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Aligns and stacks battery cells during module assembly, using the equal both-ways force to maintain precise pressure on the upward and downward strokes.
Module Handling Transfer
Transfers battery modules between conveyor lines where the double rod prevents rotation drift and allows a sensor cam to ride on the back side.
Tab Welding Clamp
Clamps battery tabs for laser welding, benefiting from the 42 kg vertical lift capacity and ISO 15552 mounting rigidity over the 700 mm travel.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X700S with the B06-SAID50X700S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X700S, specify the SAID50X700S drop-in, ensuring the -S magnet is retained for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (current AirTAC switches are used on the SAI). Size both ways using the equal 825 N force at 0.5 MPa; if more lift is needed, the neighboring 63 mm bore provides 1402 N. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts directly. For this 700 mm stroke, external guides are mandatory to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X700S
- ✓ 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-SID50X700S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X700S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X700S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID50X700S, and the SAID replacement is mechanically identical with the same ISO 15552 interface, G1/4 port, and 700 mm stroke.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. The bore is 50 mm with a G1/4 air port, a 20 mm rod, M16x1.5 rod thread, and a 30 mm adjustable cushion at each end. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
