This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X500S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X500S 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-SID80X500S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X500S 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-SAID80X500S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X500S
The AirTAC B06-SID80X500S 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 SID80X500S. 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 at 0.5 MPa). It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, 36 mm adjustable cushions, and a G3/8 port. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X500S, which shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and force.
The SAID upgrade introduces an upgraded piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Because the second rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously while resisting rotation, double-rod designs excel in battery stacking and handling. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 1361 N (60% of the 2268 N at 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; they do not hold loads on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X500S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force and anti-rotation keep prismatic battery cells aligned during precision stacking in module assembly.
Pack Handling Transfer
The rear rod drives a secondary mechanism or sensor cam while the front rod pushes battery packs between conveyor belts.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable, equal clamping and retraction forces for securing battery tabs during automated laser welding operations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X500S with the B06-SAID80X500S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X500S, select the SAID80X500S, which offers a true drop-in swap retaining the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal both-ways force. When sizing both ways, verify your load against the 2268 N force at 0.5 MPa, or step up to a 100 mm bore if higher force is needed. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, a back rod to carry a sensor cam, or the ability to drive two tools. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Because the stroke is 500 mm, ensure external guides support side loads to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID80X500S
- ✓ 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-SID80X500S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID80X500S (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID80X500S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X500S, which shares the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, G3/8 port, and equal both-ways force.
Force is equal both ways at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 80 mm with a G3/8 air port, a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, and 36 mm adjustable cushions. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
