This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X250S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X250S 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-SID63X250S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X250S 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-SAID63X250S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X250S
The AirTAC B06-SID63X250S 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 of the base SID63X250S, mechanically identical to it for cell and pack assembly lines. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X250S, sharing the 63mm bore, 250mm stroke, G3/8 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. The SAI upgrade features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, force is equal both ways (1962 N @0.7 MPa, 2523 N @0.9 MPa). The back rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously, and the ISO 15552 mounting interface allows reusing existing FA, LB, or TC brackets. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For sizing, the safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 1402 N @0.5 figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 30mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X250S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force precisely indexes battery cells during stacking, while the second rod drives a parallel tool.
Module Transfer
Anti-rotation stability from the double-rod design ensures smooth, jam-free transfer of battery modules on assembly lines.
Pack Handling
Drives dual pickers for battery packs. The back rod carries a sensor cam for exact position verification.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X250S with the B06-SAID63X250S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X250S, install the drop-in SAID63X250S, which matches the 63mm bore, 250mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting. Size both ways by verifying the equal-both-ways force fits your needs, or step to neighbouring bores (50mm or 80mm). A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, a back rod for a sensor cam, or to drive two tools. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For this 250mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for strokes >=300mm, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID63X250S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
