This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X25S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X25S 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-SID63X25S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 25mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X25S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID63X25S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X25S, mechanically identical in every spec. Because a rod exits both ends on one piston, both faces use the rod-side area, meaning push and pull force are equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. This model is discontinued and drops in directly with the SAID63X25S, reusing the exact G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30 mm adjustable air cushions at each end.
The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life, while keeping the ISO 15552 mounting interface intact. For sizing, the equal-both-ways force yields a safe working load of roughly 841 N (about 60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

The B06-SAID63X25S 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 drives precise electrode stacking and pressing in battery cell production without rotational drift.
The rear rod carries a sensor cam for position feedback while the front rod indexes battery modules along the line.
Provides stable vertical lifting of battery packs using both rods to maintain load balance during transfer.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X25S, use the drop-in SAID63X25S, which preserves the 63 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting. Size both ways by checking neighbouring bores (50 mm or 80 mm) against the equal push/pull force requirement of 1402 N @0.5 MPa. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts directly. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For this 25 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for any stroke >=300 mm, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID63X25S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X25S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X25S, so all physical specs match. The SAID keeps the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and G3/8 port.
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 it includes 30 mm adjustable air cushions. Speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
