This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAI63X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAI63X75 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-SI63X75 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 75mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAI63X75, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SI63X75 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder dedicated to battery manufacturing. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-line variant of the SI63X75, mechanically identical with a 63mm bore, 75mm stroke, G3/8 port, and 1559N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI63X75.
The SAI63X75 is a true drop-in replacement, matching the ISO 15552 mounting interface, output force, and porting. It upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure. A computed buyer insight: safe working load is roughly 935N (60% of the 0.5MPa push), lifting about 79kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this no-S SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The B06-SAI63X75 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 the 1559N @0.5MPa push force to align and press lithium-ion cell layers during automated stacking processes.
Transfers battery modules along the assembly line using the 75mm stroke and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
Holds battery tabs firmly in position for laser welding, relying on the 1402N pull force at 0.5MPa.
To replace the B06-SI63X75, order the SAI63X75. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting fixture, 63mm bore, 75mm stroke, G3/8 port (PT/G/NPT thread), and accessory type. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; order a -S SAI if position sensing is needed. Sizing both ways: a 50mm bore yields 982N push @0.5MPa, while an 80mm bore yields 2513N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for load holding use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. The SAI family also adds the SAIF self-valve option.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SI63X75 (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SI63X75) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI63X75. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63mm bore, 75mm stroke, force, and G3/8 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 63mm bore uses a G3/8 air port. Force output is 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa, 2182N push at 0.7MPa, 2805N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 318kgf at 1.0MPa. Operating speed is 30-800mm/s.
