This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X50 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X50 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-SID63X50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 50mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X50, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID63X50 is a double-acting double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, generating equal force in both directions (1402 N @0.5 MPa). The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID63X50. This SID series is discontinued, replaced by the drop-in SAID63X50, which reuses the exact G3/8 port, M16x1.5 thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, push and pull force are identical, preventing uneven wear on battery stacking and handling tooling. The SAID upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. 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. Note this SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot take a sensor.

The B06-SAID63X50 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 ensures precise, balanced pressure when stacking battery cells, preventing uneven binding during extension and retraction.
The dual-rod anti-rotation特性 stabilizes end-effectors during battery tab welding and module handling, maintaining strict alignment without torsional deflection.
Drives dual pushers on a battery pack assembly line simultaneously, using the back rod for a sensor cam or secondary action to synchronize conveyor indexing.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X50, specify the drop-in SAID63X50, retaining the identical 63mm bore, 50mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting. Size both ways by confirming the 1402 N @0.5 MPa equal force meets your requirement, or step to neighbouring bores (50mm or 80mm) if needed. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. This non-magnetic SKU cannot accept switches; for sensing, select an -S magnet model with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For strokes >=300mm, verify side-load limits. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; for held loads use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID63X50 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID63X50) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X50. It shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 63mm bore, 50mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting, but uses an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for longer life.
As 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 safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 1402 N figure), allowing a vertical lift of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Air cushions decelerate near stroke end but do not hold loads on air loss.
