This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X125S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X125S 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.
Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X125S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X125S 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-SAID63X125S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X125S
The AirTAC B06-SID63X125S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston, ensuring push and pull force are equal (1402 N @0.5 MPa). The leading B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X125S, mechanically identical to it for cell and pack assembly lines. This discontinued model features a 63 mm bore, G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and a 125 mm stroke. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X125S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and port.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, the unit delivers equal both ways force and prevents rod rotation—ideal for synchronizing two tools or carrying a sensor cam on the back rod. The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. For sizing, the safe working load is approximately 841 N (60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa figure), and the vertical lift capacity is about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X125S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both ways force ensures precise, anti-rotation pressure when stacking prismatic battery cells into modules without deflecting the electrode tabs.
Module Transfer Handling
The double-rod design drives two synchronized conveyor pushers from one cylinder, maintaining perfect parallel movement during battery pack assembly.
Tab Welding Clamp
Uses the back rod to carry a sensor cam for exact position feedback before welding battery busbars, ensuring repeatable closure on the cell terminals.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X125S with the B06-SAID63X125S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X125S, specify the SAID63X125S. It is a true drop-in upgrade: same 63 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Size both ways by checking the equal force (1402 N @0.5 MPa) against your dynamic load, or step up to an 80 mm bore if you need more thrust. A double rod is the right choice when you need anti-rotation, a back rod to carry a sensor cam, or to drive two tools. Keep the -S magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches). For strokes >=300 mm, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID63X125S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X125S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID63X125S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X125S. The B06- prefix only marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the base SID63X125S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 63 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
Force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. It never quotes a larger single-rod push value. The speed range is 30-800 mm/s. The safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 1402 N @0.5 figure). Air cushions only decelerate; for load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.
