This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X500S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X500S 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-SID63X500S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X500S 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-SAID63X500S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X500S
The AirTAC B06-SID63X500S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID63X500S. Because a rod exits both ends on a single piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 63 mm, the port is G3/8, and the rod thread is M16x1.5. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X500S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface and adds an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
The double-rod architecture provides inherent anti-rotation properties and allows the rear rod to carry a sensor cam, which is valuable for high-precision battery stacking and tabbing. With a 500 mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For sizing, the safe working load is approximately 841 N (about 60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 71 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X500S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force and inherent anti-rotation ensure precise, balanced pressure when stacking lithium battery cells during module assembly.
Tab Welding Press
The rear rod can carry a sensor cam to confirm position while the front rod applies consistent 1402 N clamping force for battery tab welding.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual-tool handlers on battery pack assembly lines, utilizing the 500 mm stroke to transfer heavy packs between conveyor stations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X500S with the B06-SAID63X500S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X500S, specify the SAID63X500S; it is a true drop-in swap retaining the 63 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions. When sizing, remember the force is equal both ways (1402 N @0.5 MPa), so if upgrading to the next bore (80 mm) or dropping to 50 mm, apply this equal-both-ways logic rather than single-rod push values. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or need to drive two tools simultaneously. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC styles. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Because the stroke is 500 mm (>=300), external guides must be used to manage side loads and prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID63X500S
- ✓ 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-SID63X500S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID63X500S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X500S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SID63X500S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 63 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
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. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For held loads, use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
