This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X450S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X450S 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-SID63X450S 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-SAID63X450S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID63X450S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X450S, mechanically identical to it. 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). It features a 63mm bore, G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30mm adjustable cushions.
This SID model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X450S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and port. The SAI replacement uses an upgraded piston seal (two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure) and adds variants like SAIL/BSAI locks. For sizing, the safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin.

The B06-SAID63X450S 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 stacking plates and retrieval cams in lithium cell assembly without push/pull force mismatch.
The rear rod carries a sensor cam for precise position feedback while the front rod clamps busbars during ultrasonic welding.
Anti-rotation properties from the double-rod design securely transfer battery packs between conveyor belts without torsional drift.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X450S, specify the SAID63X450S; it is a true drop-in swap retaining the ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC) and G3/8 port. Size both ways by checking equal force across neighbour bores: the 50mm bore yields 825 N @0.5 MPa, while the 80mm yields 2268 N @0.5 MPa. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, a back rod to carry a sensor cam, or to drive two tools. The -S suffix denotes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. At 450mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID63X450S (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID63X450S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X450S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting, but uses an upgraded piston seal.
Force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note: air cushions only decelerate; for load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.
