This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X900 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X900 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-SID80X900 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 900mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID80X900, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID80X900 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the rod exits both ends, making push and pull force equal at 2268 N @0.5 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID80X900. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X900, sharing the same 80mm bore, 900mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface. The SAI upgrade uses a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, force is identical in both directions (3175 N @0.7 MPa). This layout prevents rod rotation and lets the back rod carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool. With no -S suffix, this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a switch. For sizing, the safe working load is ~1361 N (60% of the 2268 N @0.5 figure), yielding a ~116 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate; for load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

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 push and pull force to align and stack battery cells precisely, using the double-rod architecture to prevent piston rotation during the 900mm transfer.
Moves battery modules along the assembly line where the rear rod can simultaneously drive an auxiliary mechanism, leveraging the equal both-ways force for stable 900mm strokes.
Delivers 2268 N @0.5 MPa of equal force in both directions to seat battery pack components, ensuring consistent pressing without the rotational play of a single rod.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X900, specify the drop-in SAID80X900, which preserves the 900mm stroke, G3/8 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and ISO 15552 mounting. Size both directions by the equal force: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, or step to neighbouring bores (63mm or 100mm) if capacity changes. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, equal push/pull, or a back-end cam. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. At 900mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. Without a -S magnet, sensing is impossible.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID80X900 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X900. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SID80X900. The SAID80X900 matches its 80mm bore, 900mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting.
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. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a 30-800 mm/s speed range. The safe working load is ~1361 N, providing a ~116 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
