This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X450S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X450S 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-SID80X450S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X450S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 450mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID80X450S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X450S
The AirTAC B06-SID80X450S 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 SID80X450S. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal (2268 N @0.5 MPa). This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X450S, retaining the same G3/8 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer 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 safety factor. The built-in magnet (-S) supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Note that air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not hold loads on air loss, so an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant is required for held loads.
At 450 mm stroke, external guides are recommended to mitigate rod bending and side-load stress. The cylinder operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with adjustable 36 mm cushions at each end, achieving speeds of 30-800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X450S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise cell stacking and alignment in module assembly, utilizing the double-rod design to prevent rotation during electrode compression.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual-sided conveyor transfers or pushers in pack assembly lines, ensuring synchronous movement without the force differential found in single-rod cylinders.
Tabbing and Welding Press
Provides stable clamping for battery tab welding operations, where the 450 mm stroke accommodates varying pack sizes and the external rod can carry a sensor cam.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X450S with the B06-SAID80X450S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X450S, select the SAID80X450S, which offers a true drop-in solution matching the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 80 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and M20x1.5 rod thread. When sizing, verify the equal both-ways force fits your application: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, or 4082 N @0.9 MPa. If less force is acceptable, neighboring bores like the 63 mm (1402 N @0.5 MPa) or 100 mm (3681 N @0.5 MPa) can be evaluated. A double-rod design is the right choice when you need equal force in both directions, anti-rotation stability, or need to drive two tools simultaneously. Reuse existing FA, LB, or TC mounts. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Because the stroke is 450 mm (>=300 mm), incorporate external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.

- ✓ 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-SID80X450S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID80X450S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X450S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically, it is identical to the SID80X450S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 80 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting options, but features an upgraded piston seal.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull force are equal both ways: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The air port size is G3/8, and the rod-end thread is M20x1.5. The safe working load is approximately 1361 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force).
