This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X450 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X450 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-SID63X450
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X450 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 450mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X450, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X450
The AirTAC B06-SID63X450 is a discontinued ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SID63X450. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (1402 N @0.5 MPa). The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X450, sharing the same 63mm bore, 450mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting interface. The SAI upgrade uses an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life.
Because the second rod can drive two tools or carry a sensor cam while resisting rotation, double-rod geometry offers distinct mechanical advantages. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. This SKU has no -S magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 30mm adjustable air cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X450 Is Used
Cell Stacking Assembly
Applies equal both-ways clamping for prismatic cell stacking, using the second rod to carry a sensor cam for precise electrode alignment.
Module Transfer Handling
Drives dual pusher arms on a battery module conveyor line, leveraging the anti-rotation properties of the double-rod design for stable transfers.
Pack Tab Welding
Positions battery packs for tab welding with a safe working load of 841 N, ensuring rigid, zero-twist presentation during the welding process.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X450 with the B06-SAID63X450
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X450, drop in the SAID63X450 directly—it preserves the ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC) and the G3/8 port. Size both ways by checking neighbor bores: the 50mm bore yields 825 N @0.5 MPa, while the 80mm bore yields 2268 N @0.5 MPa, ensuring you match the exact 1402 N equal-both-ways force required. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. For the 450mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod-bending under side loads. As a non-magnet (-S) SKU, it cannot support sensing; confirm sensor accuracy needs before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID63X450
- ✓ 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-SID63X450 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID63X450 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID63X450) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X450, which shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 63mm bore, 450mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal both-ways force. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI line lacked.
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 speed is 30-800 mm/s. Safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa figure).
