This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X300 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X300 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-SID80X300 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 300mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID80X300, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The B06-SID80X300 is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID80X300, a double-acting double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it for cell, module and pack assembly lines without altering any physical spec. 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). It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, 36 mm adjustable cushions, G3/8 port, and 30-800 mm/s speed. This SID model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is SAID80X300.
The SAID80X300 successor retains the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and force, but uses an upgraded piston seal (two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life). Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a magnetic switch. As a plain cylinder, it does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For safe vertical lift, the 2268 N @0.5 MPa force yields a computed safe working load of ~1361 N (60%), lifting ~116 kg with a 2:1 margin.

The B06-SAID80X300 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).
Applies equal both-ways clamping force for prismatic cell stacking, using the double rod to prevent rotation during electrode compression.
Lifts battery modules vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, using the back rod to carry a cam for mechanical synchronization.
Drives dual pushers simultaneously from both rod ends to index battery packs on a conveyor, ensuring parallel movement without skewing.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X300, use the SAID80X300 drop-in: it matches the 80 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 25 mm rod, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Size both ways by checking equal force at neighbouring bores (63 mm offers 1402 N, 100 mm offers 3681 N @0.5 MPa). A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, to drive two tools, or to mount a sensor cam on the back rod. With the 300 mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side-load. Note this non -S SKU cannot use sensors. For held loads, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant, as cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID80X300 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID80X300) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X300. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 80 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and force, but adds an upgraded 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. The safe working load is ~1361 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), allowing a vertical lift of ~116 kg with a 2:1 margin.
