This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X80 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X80 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.

The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X80 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 80mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID80X80, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID80X80 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 SID80X80. Because a rod exits both ends on a single piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, G3/8 port, and 36 mm adjustable cushions. This SID model is discontinued and is fully replaced by the drop-in SAID80X80.
The SAID80X80 successor retains the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and G3/8 port, but 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 (60% of the 0.5 MPa force) and a vertical lift capacity of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot accept switches, and a standard cylinder drifts on air loss—cushions only decelerate, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

The B06-SAID80X80 produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Legacy SI-family variants: SID (double rod), SIJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAI equivalent (SID→SAID, SIJ→SAIJ). Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B).
Applies equal both-ways force for aligning and pressing battery cell layers during module stacking, utilizing the double-rod's inherent anti-rotation properties.
Drives dual pusher arms simultaneously from both rod ends on a battery pack assembly conveyor, ensuring synchronous movement without adding a second cylinder.
Provides stable clamping for battery tab welding operations where consistent force and resistance to torsional side loads are critical.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X80, specify the SAID80X80, which matches the 80 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting footprint (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Because force is equal both ways, size it by checking neighbouring bores against your exact push and pull requirements. A double-rod design is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability, want to drive two tools from one cylinder, or need a back rod to carry a sensor cam—though this specific non-magnetic SKU lacks the -S option for switches. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, carefully manage side-load alignment to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID80X80 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SID80X80) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X80, sharing the same ISO 15552 interface, 80 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, and G3/8 port. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, 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 rod is 25 mm with an M20x1.5 thread, and speed is 30-800 mm/s.
