This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X150S 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-SID63X150S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X150S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 150mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X150S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X150S
The AirTAC B06-SID63X150S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, yielding equal push and pull force (1402 N at 0.5 MPa). The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID63X150S. It features a 63 mm bore, G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30 mm adjustable cushions. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X150S, which adds an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, force is identical in both directions. This layout prevents rod deflection, allows a rear rod to carry a sensor cam, and lets the ISO 15552 mounting hardware be reused. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 841 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; for held loads, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X150S Is Used
Cell Stacking Assembly
Equal both-ways force provides stable, anti-rotation pressing when stacking prismatic battery cells, ensuring precise alignment without rod deflection.
Module Transfer Handling
Dual-rod design drives two synchronized pucks or stops on a battery module conveyor, maintaining perfect parallelism during part indexing.
Tab Welding Clamping
The rear rod carries a sensor cam for position feedback while the front rod clamps battery tabs for laser welding, saving actuator space.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X150S with the B06-SAID63X150S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X150S, specify the SAID63X150S. It is a true drop-in: matching 63 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Size both ways using the equal-both-ways force: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. If your battery line needs less force, step down to a 50 mm bore; if you need more, step up to an 80 mm bore. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, dual-tool driving, or a back-side sensor cam. The -S suffix means the piston magnet is present for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For strokes at or above 300 mm, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID63X150S
- ✓ 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-SID63X150S FAQ
Yes, the SID line is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X150S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SID63X150S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 63 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The air port is G3/8. The safe working load is approximately 841 N. Remember, the air cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end; it does not hold the load on air loss, so use an external rod lock or SAIL variant for vertical holding.
