This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X175S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X175S 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-SID63X175S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X175S 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-SAID63X175S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X175S
The AirTAC B06-SID63X175S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the rod exits both ends, ensuring push and pull force are equal both ways (1402 N at 0.5 MPa). The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X175S, mechanically identical in bore, port, and force, intended for cell and pack assembly lines. This SID model is discontinued and directly replaced by the SAID63X175S, which uses an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. The G3/8 port and M16x1.5 rod thread remain unchanged.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, the cylinder delivers 1962 N at 0.7 MPa and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa without the unequal force of a single-rod design. A computed buyer insight from the 0.5 MPa rating yields a safe working load of roughly 841 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. The rear rod can carry a sensor cam for -S magnet switches (legacy CS1-B/DS1-B) or drive a secondary tool, while ISO 15552 mounting allows direct reuse of existing brackets.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X175S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies equal both-ways force for prismatic cell stacking and alignment, utilizing the double-rod design to prevent piston rotation during precise electrode compression.
Module Handling Transfer
Drives dual-stage package transfer arms in battery module assembly, where the rear rod simultaneously actuates a sensor cam to confirm grip status.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable clamping pressure for battery tab welding, using the equal push/pull force to maintain consistent electrode contact without single-rod force drop.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X175S with the B06-SAID63X175S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X175S, specify the drop-in SAID63X175S, which matches the 63 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal-both-ways force. When sizing both ways, verify that 1402 N at 0.5 MPa meets your load requirement, or step to neighbouring bores like 80 mm if higher force is needed. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or symmetrical motion. Mounting options include FA, LB, and TC brackets. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for sensors. For this 175 mm stroke, side-load alignment is acceptable, but for any stroke >=300 mm, ensure guide rails to prevent binding. Note that air cushions only decelerate; for load holding without live air, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID63X175S
- ✓ 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-SID63X175S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID63X175S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X175S, which shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 63 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting. The B06- prefix simply designates it for battery manufacturing lines. The SAI replacement also features an upgraded piston seal for longer life.
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 bore is 63 mm with a G3/8 air port and a M16x1.5 rod thread. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with adjustable 30 mm cushions. The -S suffix denotes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
