This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X50S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X50S 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-SID80X50S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X50S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 50mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID80X50S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X50S
The B06-SID80X50S is an ISO 15552 double-acting double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID80X50S. Because a rod exits both ends, the effective area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull force of 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. It features a 25 mm piston rod, M20x1.5 rod thread, G3/8 air port, and 36 mm adjustable air cushions at each end. This SID model is discontinued and end-of-life.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X50S, which preserves the ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and equal-both-ways force. The SAI family upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life, while adding SAIL and BSAI lock variants. For sizing, the safe working load is approximately 1361 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X50S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise cell stacking and pressing in battery module assembly, utilizing the double-rod layout to prevent platform rotation.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual pushers simultaneously from opposite rod ends to transfer battery packs between conveyor lines without adding a second actuator.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable clamping for battery tab welding, using the back rod end to mount a sensor cam while the front rod secures the workpiece.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X50S with the B06-SAID80X50S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X50S, specify the SAID80X50S, which is a direct drop-in retaining the G3/8 port, M20x1.5 thread, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions. Size both directions by the equal force: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, or step to neighbouring bores if more capacity is needed. A double-rod design is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For this 50 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for strokes >=300 mm ensure guide alignment to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID80X50S
- ✓ 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-SID80X50S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID80X50S (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID80X50S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X50S, sharing the same ISO 15552 interface, 80 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal both-ways force.
Because the double-rod design uses the rod-side area on both faces, push and pull force are equal: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s. The cushion only decelerates near stroke end and does not hold loads on air loss.
