This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X250 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X250 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.

The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X250 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 250mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID80X250, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The B06-SID80X250 is an ISO 15552 double-acting double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID80X250. 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 SAID80X250, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/8 port, and M20x1.5 rod thread.
The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. For sizing, the 2268 N @0.5 MPa force yields a safe working load of roughly 1361 N (about 60%), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. This SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot accept a sensor. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; for load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

The B06-SAID80X250 produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Legacy SI-family variants: SID (double rod), SIJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAI equivalent (SID→SAID, SIJ→SAIJ). Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B).
Equal push/pull force drives precision stacking plates in prismatic cell assembly, maintaining alignment without rotational drift.
The rear rod simultaneously carries a sensor cam or second tool for tab welding, doubling cycle efficiency on the pack line.
ISO 15552 FA and LB mounts support the cylinder horizontally for electrode foil feeding, using the G3/8 port for high flow.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X250, select the SAID80X250, which offers a drop-in ISO 15552 interchange via identical mounting-interface dimensions (Basic, FA, LB, TC). The equal-both-ways force is 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa; if sizing up or down, check neighboring bores (63 or 100) to match this equal push/pull capability. A double-rod design is right when you need anti-rotation stability or need to drive two tools simultaneously. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot use legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For stroke lengths >=300 mm, verify side-load limits to prevent excessive guide wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID80X250 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID80X250) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X250. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 80mm bore, 250mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal-both-ways force, but adds an upgraded SAI piston seal.
Force is equal both ways: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is G3/8, rod thread is M20x1.5, and speed is 30-800 mm/s. Safe working load is ~1361 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa figure).
