This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X80S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X80S 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-SID50X80S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X80S 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-SAID50X80S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X80S
The AirTAC B06-SID50X80S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the "B06-" prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID50X80S. Because a rod exits both ends on a single piston, the push and pull forces are equal both ways at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 50mm bore, G1/4 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and a 30mm adjustable air cushion at each end. This SID model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X80S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and porting.
The SAI replacement family introduces an upgraded piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life, alongside new SAIL and BSAI lock variants absent in the legacy SI line. For sizing, the equal-both-ways force yields a safe working load of roughly 495 N (60% of the 825 N @0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. The rear rod can carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool simultaneously, providing anti-rotation stability. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (current AirTAC switches are used on the SAI). 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 for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X80S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise, anti-rotation pressing and stacking of battery cells during module assembly.
Tab & Busbar Handling
Drives dual-tool grippers from both rod ends to transfer and position battery tabs or busbars on the manufacturing line.
Pack Alignment
Maintains precise parallel alignment during battery pack insertion, utilizing the second rod for a sensor cam.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X80S with the B06-SAID50X80S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X80S, select the SAID50X80S, which offers a true drop-in swap retaining the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/4 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. When sizing, verify both ways force is sufficient for your application (825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, 1484 N @0.9 MPa) and check neighboring bores (40mm or 63mm) if margins require adjustment. A double-rod design is the right choice when you need equal push/pull force, anti-rotation resistance, or a back rod to carry a sensor cam. You can reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For strokes >=300mm, ensure adequate side-load guidance to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X80S
- ✓ 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-SID50X80S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X80S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X80S. The "B06-" prefix simply denotes the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID50X80S, and the SAID50X80S matches its ISO 15552 mounting, 50mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/4 port, and force ratings exactly.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 50mm with a G1/4 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and a 30mm adjustable cushion at each end. The safe working load is approximately 495 N.
