This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X80 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X80 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-SID50X80
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X80 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 80mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X80, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X80
The AirTAC B06-SID50X80 is a discontinued double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID50X80, mechanically identical with a 50mm bore and 80mm stroke. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (825N @0.5MPa). The drop-in replacement is the SAID50X80, matching the G1/4 port, M16x1.5 thread, and 30mm cushions. The SAI upgrade uses a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure.
Buyers gain anti-rotation stability and can mount a sensor cam on the back rod, though this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a switch. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~495N (60% of the 825N @0.5MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~42kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X80 Is Used
Cell Stacking Alignment
Applies equal both-ways push/pull force to precisely index and stack battery cells without rotational drift during electrode compression.
Module Transfer Handling
Drives dual pick-and-place tooling from both rod ends to shuttle battery modules between assembly stations with balanced momentum.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable clamping for battery tab welding, using the back rod to carry a sensor cam while the front rod holds the workpiece.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X80 with the B06-SAID50X80
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X80, specify the SAID50X80, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC) without bracket changes. Size both ways by confirming the equal force requirement: if 825N @0.5MPa is insufficient, step up to the 63mm bore (1402N), or drop to the 40mm bore (528N) if lower. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation resistance or must drive two tools simultaneously. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept sensors; if sensing is needed, select an SAID-S model. For this 80mm stroke side-load is minimal, but for strokes >=300mm ensure guide alignment to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X80
- ✓ 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-SID50X80 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X80 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SID50X80) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X80, offering the same ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal both-ways force. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI line lacked.
Force is equal both ways at 825N @0.5MPa, 1154N @0.7MPa, and 1484N @0.9MPa. It uses a G1/4 air port, a 20mm rod with M16x1.5 thread, and adjustable 30mm cushions. Safe working load is ~495N, allowing a ~42kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
