This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X400 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X400 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-SID63X400
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X400 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 400mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X400, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X400
The AirTAC B06-SID63X400 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston, ensuring push and pull force are equal (1402 N @0.5 MPa). The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID63X400. It features a 63mm bore, G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30mm adjustable cushions. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X400, which retains the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and mounting.
The double-rod design prevents rod rotation and allows the rear rod to carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool, while the SAI upgrade introduces a two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 841 N (60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot accept magnetic switches. A plain cylinder will drift on air loss; use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for load holding.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X400 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise stacking of battery cells in module assembly, using the double-rod design to prevent rotation during the pressing motion.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives a dual-sided transfer mechanism on a conveyor line for battery packs, leveraging the equal push and pull force to maintain synchronous movement.
Tab Welding Clamp
Clamps battery tabs during ultrasonic welding, where the rear rod simultaneously operates a mechanical cam while the front rod applies 1402 N of clamping force.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X400 with the B06-SAID63X400
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X400, specify the SAID63X400 directly—it is a drop-in swap retaining the 63mm bore, 400mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting. Size both directions by the equal-both-ways force: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, or 2523 N @0.9 MPa. If neighbouring bores are evaluated, the 50mm bore yields 825 N @0.5 MPa, while the 80mm bore yields 2268 N @0.5 MPa. A double-rod cylinder is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability or a back rod to carry a sensor cam. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot use magnetic switches. For the 400mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and manage side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID63X400
- ✓ 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-SID63X400 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID63X400 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SID63X400) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X400. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 63mm bore, 400mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal-both-ways force. The SAI family also adds an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure.
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 operates at 30-800 mm/s. The safe working load is approximately 841 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), allowing a vertical lift of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin.
