This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X400 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X400 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-SID80X400
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X400 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 400mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID80X400, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X400
The AirTAC B06-SID80X400 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID80X400, mechanically identical in every 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). The bore is 80 mm, rod is Ø25 mm, and the air port is G3/8. This SID model is discontinued and drops in directly to the SAID80X400.
The SAID replacement retains the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and port, while upgrading the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Because it is a non-magnet SKU (no -S suffix), it cannot accept magnetic switches. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For safe sizing, the computed working load is ~1361 N (60% of the 2268 N @0.5 MPa force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~116 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X400 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise, anti-rotation pressing and stacking of battery cells during module assembly.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual-side conveyor stops or pushers in battery pack lines, using the back rod to synchronize a secondary motion.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable, equal clamping force on battery tabs during ultrasonic welding, resisting rotational deflection.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X400 with the B06-SAID80X400
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X400, use the SAID80X400; it preserves the 80 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G3/8 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and ISO 15552 mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Size both ways by verifying the equal force (2268 N @0.5, 3175 N @0.7, 4082 N @0.9 MPa) meets your push and pull requirements, or step to neighbour bores (63 or 100 mm) if capacity demands. A double-rod design is right when you need anti-rotation stability, equal force both ways, or a back rod to drive a second tool. Because this is a non-magnet SKU, it cannot take sensors. At 400 mm stroke, account for side-load and rod-bending by using external guides to prevent premature seal wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID80X400
- ✓ 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-SID80X400 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID80X400 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SID80X400) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X400. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 80 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting, but adds an upgraded SAI piston seal.
Force is equal both ways at 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. Note: this non-magnet SKU cannot take sensors, and the cushion only decelerates; use an external rod lock for load holding.
