This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X900S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X900S 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-SID50X900S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X900S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 900mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X900S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X900S
The AirTAC B06-SID50X900S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the leading B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID50X900S. Because a rod exits both ends on a single piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal 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 cushion at each end. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X900S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and porting.
The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. For motion planning, 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 -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. 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 pilot-operated check valve for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X900S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal-both-ways force ensures precise, balanced pressure when stacking battery cells in module assembly, preventing uneven compaction.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual-tool pick-and-place mechanisms on conveyor lines, utilizing the double-rod architecture to move battery packs simultaneously.
Tab Welding Alignment
The anti-rotation property of the double rod maintains strict parallelism for battery tab welding and electrode handling over the 900mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X900S with the B06-SAID50X900S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X900S, specify the SAID50X900S, which is a true drop-in swap retaining the 50mm bore, 900mm stroke, G1/4 port, M16x1.5 thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Because force is equal both ways, you can size both directions identically; if upgrading to a neighbour bore, verify the equal push/pull force meets your requirement. A double-rod design is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability, want to drive two tools simultaneously, or need the back rod to carry a sensor cam. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. With the 900mm stroke, external guides are strongly recommended to mitigate side-load and rod-bending risks.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X900S
- ✓ 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-SID50X900S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X900S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X900S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically, it is identical to the SID50X900S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 900mm stroke, and G1/4 port, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
It features a G1/4 air port and M16x1.5 rod thread. 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 safe working load is approximately 495 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin.
