This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X250 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X250 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-SID63X250 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 250mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X250, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID63X250 is a double-acting double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, making push and pull force equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID63X250. This discontinued model drops directly into the SAID63X250, reusing the exact G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface without changes.
The double-rod design prevents rotation and lets the rear rod drive a second tool or sensor cam. The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure. For sizing, the safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), yielding a 71 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch, and air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for held loads.

The B06-SAID63X250 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, preventing rotation during multi-layer pressing.
Uses the twin-rod anti-rotation特性 to smoothly transfer battery modules along the line without drift or yaw during indexing.
Drives two opposing welding tools simultaneously from one piston, ensuring balanced clamping force on battery pack tabs.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X250, specify the SAID63X250. It matches the 63mm bore, 250mm stroke, 1402 N equal-both-ways force, G3/8 port, and FA/LB/TC mountings. If you need more force, the 80mm bore offers 2268 N; if less, the 50mm offers 825 N. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation or to drive two tools from one piston. This SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot support sensing. For this 250mm stroke, side-load is moderate, but for strokes >=300mm ensure guide alignment to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID63X250 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID63X250) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X250. It shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 63mm bore, 250mm 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 @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 the adjustable cushion is 30mm at each end. It operates at 30-800 mm/s.
