This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X100 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-SID63X100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X100, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID63X100 is a double-acting double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X100, mechanically identical in every spec. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (1402 N @0.5 MPa). It features a 63mm bore, G3/8 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30mm adjustable cushions. This SKU has no -S magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch.
This discontinued model is fully replaced by the drop-in SAID63X100, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and port. The SAI upgrade uses a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. A double-rod design prevents rod rotation and can drive two tools simultaneously. For sizing, the safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin.

The B06-SAID63X100 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).
Equal both-ways force drives dual pressing plates in battery cell stacking, ensuring precise alignment without rod rotation during module assembly.
The double-rod design pushes and pulls battery packs across conveyor lanes with identical force, allowing compact dual-end tooling in tight cell-assembly lines.
Provides stable, equal clamping on both stroke ends for battery tab welding, maintaining consistent pressure without single-rod push imbalance.
To replace the B06-SID63X100, drop in the SAID63X100 directly; it matches the ISO 15552 interface, G3/8 port, and 1500mm max standard stroke. Size both ways using the equal-both-ways force: if 1402 N @0.5 MPa is insufficient, step up to the 80mm bore (2268 N), or drop to the 50mm bore (825 N) if lower. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. For strokes >=300mm, verify side-load limits. This non-magnetic SKU cannot use sensors; if sensing is needed, select an -S model. For load holding, note that air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant, as plain cylinders drift on air loss.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID63X100 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SID63X100) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X100, sharing the same ISO 15552 interface, 63mm bore, 100mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal both-ways force. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants.
Force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 63mm with a G3/8 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30-800 mm/s speed range. Safe working load is ~841 N. It is double-acting double-rod only.
