This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X160S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X160S 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-SID80X160S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X160S 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-SAID80X160S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X160S
The AirTAC B06-SID80X160S 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 SID80X160S. Because a rod exits both ends on one piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal (2268 N at 0.5 MPa). It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, and a G3/8 port. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X160S, which adds an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
For battery cell stacking and handling, the dual-rod design prevents rotation and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam while driving a second tool. The ISO 15552 interface lets you reuse existing FA, LB, or TC mounts without machining. Based on the 2268 N force at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is about 1361 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 36 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X160S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies equal both-ways force for prismatic cell stacking and unstacking, using the dual rods to prevent platen rotation during precise electrode alignment.
Module Handling Transfer
Drives a pusher and a synchronized retract sensor cam simultaneously on the battery module assembly line, ensuring stable parts transfer without torsional deflection.
Pack Tab Welding Clamp
Holds battery tabs for welding with equal push and pull force, while the ISO 15552 TC mount allows easy integration into compact pack welding fixtures.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X160S with the B06-SAID80X160S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X160S, specify SAID80X160S—it matches the 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and 2268 N equal-both-ways force at 0.5 MPa. When sizing both ways, verify this equal force handles your load, or step to the 100 mm bore if more force is needed. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, a rear sensor cam, or two driven tools. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts via the ISO 15552 interface. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For this 160 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for strokes >=300 mm, ensure guide alignment to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID80X160S
- ✓ 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-SID80X160S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID80X160S is discontinued. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID80X160S, changing no physical specs. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X160S, which matches the 80 mm bore, 160 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 and never quotes a larger single-rod push value. It delivers 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. The air port is G3/8. Based on the 2268 N figure, the safe working load is about 1361 N. Remember, the air cushion only decelerates; it does not hold loads on air loss, so use an external rod lock for vertical holding.
