This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X600S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X600S 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-SID63X600S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 600mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X600S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID63X600S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, making push and pull force equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X600S, mechanically identical in bore, port, and stroke. Because the SID family is discontinued, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X600S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface and G3/8 port.
The double-rod design prevents rod rotation and allows the rear rod to carry a sensor cam for -S magnet switches. The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure. 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.

The B06-SAID63X600S 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 precise electrode stacking and handling in battery cell assembly without rotational drift.
The rear rod carries a sensor cam to track position during module tabbing and transfer operations on the line.
Provides a safe vertical lift of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin for battery pack handling, requiring external guides for the 600mm stroke.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X600S, use the SAID63X600S directly; it matches the 63mm bore, 600mm stroke, G3/8 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. When sizing both ways, verify the equal force of 1402 N @0.5 MPa fits your load, or step to neighbouring bores (50mm or 80mm) if a different force is needed. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation or a rear sensor cam. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For the 600mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SID line is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X600S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SID63X600S.
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 air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; for load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.
