This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X800S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X800S 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-SID50X800S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X800S 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-SAID50X800S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X800S
The AirTAC B06-SID50X800S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID50X800S, mechanically identical in every spec. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (825 N @0.5 MPa). This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X800S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life, while the back rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously for anti-rotation. With an 825 N @0.5 MPa rating, the computed safe working load is ~495 N (60%), yielding a ~42 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Note that air cushions only decelerate; for load holding without live air, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X800S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly, using the equal both-ways force to maintain consistent pressure on the anode and cathode layers.
Module Handling Transfer
Moves battery modules along the pack assembly line, where the double-rod design prevents rotation during the horizontal transfer of heavy packs.
Tab Welding Positioning
Positions battery tabs for laser welding, utilizing the rear rod end to mount a sensor cam for precise end-of-stroke confirmation in confined spaces.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X800S with the B06-SAID50X800S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X800S, drop in the SAID50X800S directly—no mounting changes are needed because the ISO 15552 interface, G1/4 port, and 800 mm stroke match exactly. Size both ways by checking neighbouring bores (e.g., 40 mm or 63 mm) if you need to adjust the equal-both-ways force, which is 825 N @0.5 MPa here. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, dual-tool driving, or a rear sensor cam. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Because the 800 mm stroke is long, account for side-load and rod-bending by adding external guides to prevent premature wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X800S
- ✓ 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-SID50X800S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X800S (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID50X800S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X800S, which shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and G1/4 port. The SAI family also adds upgraded seals and SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Force is equal both ways due to the double-rod design: 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 speed is 30-800 mm/s. Computed safe load is ~495 N, allowing a ~42 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
