This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI63X350 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI63X350 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-SI Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SI63X350 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 350mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI63X350, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SI63X350 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder delivering 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SI63X350, mechanically identical to the base model for cell and pack assembly tasks. It features a 63mm bore, 350mm stroke, G3/8 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread.
AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI63X350, a true drop-in sharing the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, and stroke. The SAI upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. This SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For sizing, safe working load is ~935 N (60% of [email protected]), yielding a ~79 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 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).
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in lithium battery production, utilizing the 1559 N push force to press and align cell layers reliably.
Transfers battery modules along assembly lines, where the 350mm stroke accommodates extended reach for indexing operations.
Applies controlled clamping force for busbar and tab welding, ensuring stable electrical contact during the joining process.
To replace this discontinued cylinder, order the SAI63X350. It drops directly into existing fixtures via the ISO 15552 mounting interface, matching the 63mm bore, 350mm stroke, G3/8 port, and M16x1.5 thread. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support position sensing; if switches are needed, specify an SAI63X350S and use current AirTAC sensors. For loads needing 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, the 63mm bore is ideal, while neighboring 80mm bores offer 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. Note: a 350mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. Plain cylinders drift without air; for load holding, use the SAIL or BSAI lock variants, or an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SI63X350 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SI63X350) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI63X350. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63mm bore, 350mm stroke, and G3/8 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly. The SAI features an upgraded two Y-shaped element piston seal for longer life.
The 63mm bore uses a G3/8 air port. Force ratings are: 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa; 2805 N push at 0.9 MPa; with a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, speed is 30-800 mm/s, and it has a 30mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.
