This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X100S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X100S 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-SID63X100S 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-SAID63X100S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID63X100S is a battery-manufacturing dedicated double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder, where the B06- prefix denotes an industry-specific designation mechanically identical to the standard SID63X100S. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (1402 N @0.5 MPa). This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X100S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63mm bore, 100mm stroke, G3/8 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Beyond the anti-rotation benefit of the dual rods, the rear rod can carry a sensor cam to track position via the built-in -S magnet (compatible with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches). For sizing, the 1402 N @0.5 MPa force yields a safe working load of ~841 N (60% factor) and a vertical lift capacity of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 30mm adjustable cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

The B06-SAID63X100S 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 push and pull force precisely indexes battery cell layers during stacking, while the dual rods prevent torsional drift.
Drives dual opposing grippers to shuttle battery modules between welding stations, maintaining synchronous alignment via both rods.
Provides stable clamping for battery pack tab welding operations, using the rear rod to mount a sensor cam for exact position feedback.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X100S, specify the SAID63X100S. It is a true drop-in swap: identical ISO 15552 dimensions, 100mm stroke, G3/8 port, and 1962 N @0.7 MPa equal-both-ways force. When sizing both ways, verify if neighboring bores (50mm or 80mm) offer a better footprint, but the 63mm bore provides 1402 N @0.5 MPa on both faces. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation resistance or must drive two tools simultaneously. Mounting uses FA, LB, or TC brackets. The -S magnet enables position sensing. For strokes >=300mm, verify side-load limits to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID63X100S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X100S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SID63X100S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The bore dictates a fixed G3/8 air port. It operates at 30-800 mm/s with a 30mm adjustable cushion at each end, but it will not hold a load without live air.
