This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X500 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X500 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-SID63X500
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X500 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 500mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X500, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X500
The AirTAC B06-SID63X500 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the "B06-" prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X500, mechanically identical in every spec. 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; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X500, sharing the same interface, force, and mounting.
The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Because the second rod drives a sensor cam or a second tool while resisting rotation, double-rod architecture is highly effective for battery stacking and handling. For sizing, the safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 1402 N @0.5 force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot support sensing.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X500 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push/pull force and inherent anti-rotation keep prismatic battery cells perfectly aligned during precision stacking operations.
Module Transfer Handling
The second rod drives a synchronized sensor cam or secondary actuator across the conveyor line without needing a separate cylinder.
Pack Assembly Pressing
Provides stable, equal-both-ways pressure for seating battery pack components, safely handling loads up to 841 N.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X500 with the B06-SAID63X500
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X500, specify the SAID63X500; it is a true drop-in swap retaining the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/8 port, and 500mm stroke. When sizing both ways, verify the equal force of 1402 N @0.5 / 1962 N @0.7 / 2523 N @0.9 meets your requirement, or step to neighbouring bores (50mm or 80mm) to scale force. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC. Because this lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take sensors. With a 500mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod-bending under side-loads. For held loads, note this cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID63X500
- ✓ 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-SID63X500 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID63X500 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID63X500) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X500, which shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 63mm bore, 500mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal force. The SAI family also adds upgraded piston seals and lock variants like SAIL/BSAI.
Force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. It uses a G3/8 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30mm adjustable cushions. Speed is 30-800 mm/s. It cannot hold loads without live air; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end.
