This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-SAID63X400S, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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-SID63X400S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X400S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 400mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B06-SAID63X400S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X400S
The AirTAC B06-SID63X400S 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 SID63X400S. Because a rod exits both ends on a single piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal both ways (1402 N @0.5 MPa). It features a 63 mm bore, a G3/8 air port, an M16x1.5 rod thread, and a built-in magnet (-S) for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. This SID model is discontinued and is fully replaced by the direct replacement SAID63X400S, which shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and porting.
The double-rod design prevents rod rotation and allows the rear rod to carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool simultaneously. The SAI replacement family also introduces an upgraded piston seal (two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life) alongside SAIL and BSAI lock variants absent in the legacy SI line. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the air 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-SID63X400S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise cell stacking and alignment in module assembly, using the rear rod to trigger a sensor cam without rod rotation.
Tab Handling Transfer
Drives a dual-tool transfer mechanism on the battery production line, moving tab materials with identical push and pull force to maintain synchronous indexing.
Pack Module Indexing
Indexes battery packs along the conveyor using the ISO 15552 FA and LB mounting brackets, ensuring stable positioning over the 400 mm stroke with external guides.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X400S with the B06-SAID63X400S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X400S, specify the direct replacement SAID63X400S, which preserves the 63 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). When sizing both ways, verify the equal push/pull force of 1402 N @0.5 MPa is sufficient; neighboring bores (50 mm or 80 mm) offer 825 N or 2268 N respectively if a different capacity is needed. A double-rod cylinder is the right choice when you need anti-rotation, equal force in both directions, or a back rod to carry a sensor cam. Because the 400 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm, incorporate external guides to mitigate side-load and rod-bending risks. Retain the -S magnet for position sensing, but upgrade to current AirTAC switches for the SAI replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID63X400S
- ✓ 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-SID63X400S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID63X400S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID63X400S. The "B06-" prefix only designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically, it is identical to the SID63X400S. The SAID replacement shares the same 63 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface, while adding an upgraded piston seal.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 63 mm with a G3/8 air port, a 20 mm rod, and an M16x1.5 rod thread. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the load; it does not hold position on air loss, so an external rod lock is required for vertical holding.
