This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X125 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X125 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-SID63X125 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 125mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X125, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID63X125 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X125, mechanically identical in every spec. Because a rod exits both ends on a single piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal (1402 N @0.5 MPa). This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X125, retaining the 63mm bore, 125mm stroke, G3/8 port, and M16x1.5 thread.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. 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. Note this non-magnetic SKU (-S omitted) cannot take a sensor. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; cushions only decelerate, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

The B06-SAID63X125 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 equal both-ways force for precise electrode stacking in battery cell production, ensuring consistent pressure without rotational deflection.
Drives dual-tool push/pull mechanisms on conveyor lines for battery module handling, leveraging the double-rod's identical extension and retraction force.
Provides stable clamping for battery pack tab welding operations, where the G3/8 port and 30mm cushions ensure smooth deceleration at stroke ends.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X125, specify the drop-in SAID63X125, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC) without bracket changes. Size both ways by confirming the equal force (1402 N @0.5 MPa) handles your load, or step to neighbouring bores (50mm or 80mm) if margins require. A double-rod design is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For strokes >=300mm, verify side-load alignment to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID63X125 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SID63X125) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X125. It shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 63mm bore, 125mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal both-ways force. The B06- prefix is an application designation only, so the replacement is mechanically identical.
Force is equal both ways because it is a double-rod cylinder: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is G3/8, the rod thread is M16x1.5, and it features 30mm adjustable air cushions at each end. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
