This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X400S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X400S 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-SID80X400S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X400S 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-SAID80X400S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X400S
The AirTAC B06-SID80X400S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID80X400S. 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). This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X400S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/8 port, and M20x1.5 rod thread. The SAI family upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
For sizing, the equal-both-ways force yields a safe working load of roughly 1361 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. The 400 mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 36 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end. For held loads, use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X400S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push/pull force precisely indexes prismatic battery cells during stacking, while the back rod mounts a sensor cam for position verification.
Module Transfer
Drives dual conveyors simultaneously from one piston, ensuring synchronous module handling without requiring a second cylinder.
Tab Welding Clamp
Anti-rotation properties from the double-rod architecture maintain rigid alignment when clamping battery tabs for laser welding.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X400S with the B06-SAID80X400S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X400S, specify the SAID80X400S, which matches the 80 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC). The double-rod design is selected when equal force both ways is required, or when the back rod carries a sensor cam. If sizing up or down, check neighbor bores (63 mm or 100 mm) to match the equal force. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Because the stroke is 400 mm (>=300), add external guides to manage side-load and rod-bending risks.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID80X400S
- ✓ 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-SID80X400S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID80X400S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X400S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID80X400S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 80 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting, but uses an upgraded piston seal.
Force is equal both ways: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s. The air port is G3/8, and adjustable cushions are 36 mm. A plain cylinder does not hold loads without live air; use an external rod lock for held loads.
