This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X700S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X700S 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-SID63X700S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X700S 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-SAID63X700S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X700S
The AirTAC B06-SID63X700S 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 SID63X700S. Because a rod exits both ends on one 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. This model is discontinued and end-of-life. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X700S, which shares the same G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30 mm adjustable cushion at each end.
The SAI replacement family introduces an upgraded piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life, plus SAIL and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line. For sizing, the 1402 N @0.5 MPa force yields a safe working load of roughly 841 N (60%), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. The built-in -S piston magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; a plain cylinder drifts on air loss, 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-SID63X700S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precise electrode stacking and handling in cell assembly lines without push-pull force mismatch.
Dual-Tool Tab Welding
The rear rod carries a sensor cam or secondary tool, allowing simultaneous tab welding and clamping on battery modules.
Pack Conveyor Transfer
Anti-rotation properties from the double-rod design ensure stable vertical placement of battery packs during conveyor transfers.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X700S with the B06-SAID63X700S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X700S, specify the SAID63X700S drop-in directly, reusing the existing ISO 15552 FA, LB, or TC mounting interface without modifications. Size both ways by verifying the equal 1402 N @0.5 MPa force fits your load, or step to neighbour bores (50 mm or 80 mm) if a different force is needed. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously from one piston. The -S magnet enables position sensing. Because the 700 mm stroke is long, external guides are required to prevent rod-bending and manage side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID63X700S
- ✓ 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-SID63X700S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID63X700S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X700S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X700S; the SAID replacement is mechanically identical, sharing the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and G3/8 port.
The bore is 63 mm with 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. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
