This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X700 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X700 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-SID63X700 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 700mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X700, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID63X700 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, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X700, mechanically identical with a 63mm bore, 700mm stroke, G3/8 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. This SID model is discontinued; the drop-in replacement is the SAID63X700, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface and adds an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, force is equal both ways, yielding a safe working load of roughly 841 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) and a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. The back rod can drive a second tool or carry a sensor cam, though this specific no-magnet SKU cannot accept a magnetic switch. Note that air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; for load holding on air loss, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.

The B06-SAID63X700 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 during battery cell stacking and alignment operations.
Double-rod anti-rotation stability moves battery modules between assembly stations without drift or twist.
The rear rod can drive a secondary mechanism while the front rod clamps battery tabs for welding.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X700, specify the SAID63X700, which matches the 63mm bore, 700mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting footprint (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Size both directions by the equal-both-ways force: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, or 2523 N @0.9 MPa. If neighboring bores are considered, the 50mm yields 825 N and the 80mm yields 2268 N at 0.5 MPa. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, equal push/pull, or a back rod for a sensor cam. For the 700mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads. This non-magnetic model cannot take switches; for sensing, choose an -S variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID63X700 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X700. The B06- prefix only designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically, it is identical to the standard SID63X700. The SAID63X700 matches the ISO 15552 interface, 700mm stroke, G3/8 port, and force, while adding an upgraded piston seal.
It features a G3/8 air port and M16x1.5 rod thread. Because it is 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 safe working load is ~841 N. Air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for load holding.
