This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X900S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X900S 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-SID80X900S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X900S 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-SAID80X900S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X900S
The AirTAC B06-SID80X900S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a 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 base SID80X900S. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X900S, which adds an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. The G3/8 port and M20x1.5 rod thread remain unchanged.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, force is equal both ways (3175 N @0.7 MPa, 4082 N @0.9 MPa). The rear rod can carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool, and ISO 15552 mounting (FA, LB, TC) allows direct reuse of existing brackets. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 1361 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X900S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise cell stacking and pressing in module assembly, using the rear rod to mount a sensor cam for position verification.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual-tool transfer mechanisms on conveyor lines, leveraging the double-rod anti-rotation property to keep battery packs aligned during long 900mm strokes.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable clamping for battery tab welding with equal push and pull force, ensuring consistent contact without single-rod push force spikes.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X900S with the B06-SAID80X900S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X900S, install the drop-in SAID80X900S, which matches the 80mm bore, 900mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface. Size both directions by the equal-both-ways force: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, or 4082 N @0.9 MPa. If less force is needed, step down to a 63mm bore (1402 N @0.5 MPa); if more is required, step up to a 100mm bore (3681 N @0.5 MPa). A double-rod design is correct when you need anti-rotation stability, equal push/pull power, or a back rod for a sensor cam. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. At 900mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending and manage side loads. A plain cylinder will not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID80X900S
- ✓ 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-SID80X900S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID80X900S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X900S. The B06- prefix simply designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SID80X900S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 80mm bore, 900mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal both-ways force, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
Force is equal both ways because a rod exits both ends: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is G3/8, the rod thread is M20x1.5, and the adjustable cushion is 36mm at each end. Speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s. The safe working load is approximately 1361 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin.
