This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI63X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI63X150S 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-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI63X150S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI63X150S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 150mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI63X150S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI63X150S
The AirTAC B06-SI63X150S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI63X150S, mechanically identical to the base model with a 63mm bore, 150mm stroke, G3/8 port, and 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI63X150S, a true drop-in sharing the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, output force, and port size.
The SAI upgrade features a modernized piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. For battery pack assembly requiring load holding on air loss, the plain cushion only decelerates; you need the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock variant. With the -S magnet, legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors fit. Expect a safe working load around 935 N (60% of 0.5 MPa push) or a 79 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI63X150S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking presses for lithium-ion cell assembly, utilizing the 1559 N push force to compress electrode packs reliably.
Module Handling
Transfers battery modules along assembly lines, where the 150mm stroke actuates lifting forks and positioning gates seamlessly.
Tab Welding Clamp
Applies consistent clamping pressure for busbar and tab laser welding operations, ensuring stable electrical contacts during pack integration.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI63X150S with the B06-SAI63X150S
To replace this B06-SI63X150S, order the SAI63X150S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, CA, TC), the G3/8 port, and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The 63mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; if sizing up, the 80mm bore gives 2513 N. For this 150mm stroke, guide the load to prevent rod bending. The cushion only decelerates; for suspended battery modules, use the SAIL or BSAI lock variant. Rod options include carbon steel, SUS420J2 (A), or SUS304 (B).
Replacement checklist
