This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X800 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X800 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-SID50X800 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 800mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X800, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID50X800 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, yielding equal push and pull force (825 N @0.5 MPa). The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID50X800. This SID model is discontinued; the drop-in replacement is the SAID50X800, reusing the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 800mm stroke, and G1/4 port. The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, force is equal both ways (1154 N @0.7 MPa). The design prevents rod rotation and can drive two tools simultaneously. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~495 N (60% of 825 N @0.5 MPa), allowing a vertical lift of ~42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a -S magnet and cannot take sensors. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for holding.

The B06-SAID50X800 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 drives precision stacking mechanisms in cell assembly, ensuring consistent pressure on the upward and downward strokes.
The double-rod configuration provides anti-rotation for shuttling battery modules between conveyors, maintaining alignment without external guides.
Drives two opposing welding tools simultaneously from one piston, keeping clamping force perfectly balanced during battery tab joining.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X800, use the SAID50X800 directly—it matches the 50mm bore, 800mm stroke, G1/4 port, M16x1.5 thread, and 30mm cushion. Size both ways by checking equal force at neighboring bores (32mm yields 345 N @0.5 MPa; 63mm yields 1402 N). Choose a double-rod when you need anti-rotation, a back rod for a sensor cam, or to drive two tools. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. For the 800mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. Without a -S magnet, this SKU cannot mount switches.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID50X800 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID50X800) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X800. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 800mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal-both-ways force, but uses an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal.
As a double-rod cylinder, push and pull force are 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, the rod thread is M16x1.5, and it has a 30mm adjustable cushion at each end. Safe working load is ~495 N.
