This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X175 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X175 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-SID63X175 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 175mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X175, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID63X175 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID63X175. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 63 mm bore, G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30 mm adjustable cushions at each end. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X175, which adds an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
Because the second rod can drive a second tool or carry a sensor cam while resisting rotation, double-rod designs excel in battery cell stacking and handling. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a switch. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; for held loads on air loss, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

The B06-SAID63X175 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 and inherent anti-rotation keep prismatic cell stacking plungers perfectly aligned during double-acting pressing and return cycles.
The rear rod can drive a synchronized secondary mechanism or cam on the packaging line while the front rod pushes battery modules, saving space.
Provides stable, equal clamping and retraction forces for battery tab welding fixtures, ensuring consistent electrical contact without drift.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X175, use the SAID63X175 directly—it matches the 63 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Size both directions by the equal force: 1402 N @0.5, 1962 N @0.7, 2523 N @0.9. If more force is needed, step up to the 80 mm bore; if less, the 50 mm bore. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For strokes >=300 mm, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID63X175 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID63X175) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X175. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 63 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal force, but uses an upgraded piston seal for longer life.
Force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The port is G3/8, rod thread is M16x1.5, and speed is 30-800 mm/s. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with 30 mm adjustable cushions at each end.
