This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X500 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X500 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-SID80X500
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X500 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 500mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID80X500, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X500
The AirTAC B06-SID80X500 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID80X500. 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 SAID80X500, which reuses the same G3/8 port, M20x1.5 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. Because the rear rod can carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool simultaneously, double-rod designs excel in anti-rotation tasks. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot take a switch. For sizing, 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.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X500 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force and dual rods provide stable, anti-rotation pressure for stacking battery cells during module assembly.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual conveyors or synchronous clamps on a battery pack line, using the second rod to maintain parallel movement.
Tab Welding Press
Applies precise, equal clamping force on both extend and retract strokes for battery tab welding and joining operations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X500 with the B06-SAID80X500
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X500, specify SAID80X500; it is a true drop-in swap retaining the 80mm bore, 500mm stroke, G3/8 port, and 36mm adjustable cushions. Size both ways by confirming the 2268 N @0.5 MPa equal force meets your requirement, or step to neighbouring bores (63mm or 100mm) if capacity changes. Choose a double-rod cylinder when anti-rotation or synchronous dual-tool driving is needed, reusing FA, LB, or TC mounts. As this non-magnetic SKU cannot support switches, add external sensing if required. For the 500mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss (cushions only decelerate), so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID80X500
- ✓ 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-SID80X500 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID80X500 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X500. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID80X500; mechanically, all specs (bore, stroke, G3/8 port, force) are identical. The SAI family also adds upgraded seals and SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
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 figure), yielding a ~116 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take switches.
