This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X300S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X300S 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-SID80X300S 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-SAID80X300S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID80X300S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston. This layout means both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SID80X300S. It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, G3/8 port, and 36 mm adjustable cushions. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X300S, which retains the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and mounting.
The SAI replacement uses an upgraded piston seal with 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 (60% margin) and a vertical lift capacity of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

The B06-SAID80X300S 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 both-ways force drives precise electrode stacking and unstacking in battery cell assembly without push-pull force mismatch.
Double-rod anti-rotation stability moves battery modules smoothly between conveyor belts during pack assembly line transfers.
The rear rod carries a sensor cam for position feedback while the front rod clamps battery tabs for laser welding.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X300S, use the SAID80X300S drop-in: it matches the 80 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Size both ways by checking the equal force (2268 N @0.5 MPa) against your load, or step to neighbouring bores (63 mm or 100 mm) if margins allow. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, a back rod to carry a sensor cam, or to drive two tools. The -S magnet fits legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For this 300 mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID80X300S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X300S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID80X300S; mechanically, every spec (bore, stroke, port, force) is identical. The SAID keeps the same ISO 15552 interface and mounting.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, 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. It uses a 25 mm piston rod with an M20x1.5 thread, adjustable air cushions of 36 mm, and operates at 30-800 mm/s.
