This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X50S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X50S 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-SID63X50S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X50S 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-SAID63X50S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X50S
The AirTAC B06-SID63X50S 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 SID63X50S. 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. It features a 63 mm bore, G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and a 30 mm adjustable cushion at each end. This SID model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X50S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and porting.
The SAID upgrade introduces an improved two-piece Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life, while keeping the physical dimensions and ratings unchanged. For sizing, the equal-both-ways force yields a safe working load of roughly 841 N (about 60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X50S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both ways force to precisely stack battery cells during module assembly, utilizing the double-rod design to prevent platform rotation.
Tab Handling Transfer
Drives a dual-tool pick-and-place mechanism on a battery production line, using the G3/8 port and 63 mm bore to maintain consistent tab positioning.
Pack Alignment Press
Performs light-duty alignment operations on battery packs where a safe working load of 841 N is required, with adjustable 30 mm cushions decelerating the motion at both ends.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X50S with the B06-SAID63X50S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X50S, specify the SAID63X50S, which is a true drop-in solution retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal both ways force. When sizing both ways, verify that your required push and pull forces match the 1402 N @0.5 MPa rating, and consider neighbor bores (50 mm or 80 mm) if you need to adjust the payload. A double-rod design is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability, want to drive two tools simultaneously from one cylinder, or need to mount a sensor cam on the back rod. You can reuse FA, LB, or TC mounting accessories without modification. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For this 50 mm stroke, side-load concerns are minimal, but for any stroke >=300 mm, ensure proper guide alignment to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID63X50S
- ✓ 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-SID63X50S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID63X50S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X50S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X50S, so the SAID63X50S matches it exactly on ISO 15552 mounting, bore, stroke, G3/8 port, and force. The SAI family also adds upgraded piston seals and SAIL/BSAI lock variants the SI line lacked.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 63 mm, the air port is G3/8, the rod thread is M16x1.5, and it operates at 30-800 mm/s. The cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end and does not hold it without live air.
