This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X160 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X160 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-SID80X160
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X160 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 160mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID80X160, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X160
The AirTAC B06-SID80X160 is a double-acting double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID80X160, mechanically identical with a 80mm bore and 160mm stroke. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (2268 N @0.5 MPa). This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X160, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/8 port, and M20x1.5 rod thread. The SAI replacement also uses an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life.
Because the second rod drives a sensor cam or a second tool while resisting rotation, double-rod architecture is ideal for battery stacking and handling. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~1361 N (60% of the 2268 N @0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of ~116 kg with a 2:1 margin. This SKU lacks a -S magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 36mm adjustable cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X160 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force via the G3/8 port to press and align battery cells during module stacking, using the second rod to resist rotation.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual-tool pincer jaws on a conveyor line to transfer battery packs, maintaining precise parallelism without torsional deflection.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides a stable 2268 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa for battery tab welding, with the opposing rod carrying a mechanical cam for external positioning.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X160 with the B06-SAID80X160
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X160, drop in the SAID80X160 directly—it matches the 80mm bore, 160mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting. Size both ways by verifying the equal force (2268 N @0.5 MPa) meets your push and pull requirements; if marginally short, step up to the 100mm bore. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts without frame changes. As this SKU has no -S magnet, sensing is impossible; add external sensors if needed. For this 160mm stroke, side-load alignment is straightforward, but for any stroke >=300mm, ensure guide rails to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID80X160
- ✓ 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-SID80X160 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID80X160 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SID80X160) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X160, which shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 80mm bore, 160mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI line lacked.
Force is equal both ways at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s. The G3/8 port and M20x1.5 rod thread are fixed by the 80mm bore. Safe working load is ~1361 N, allowing a 116 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
