This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X75 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-SID63X75 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 75mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X75, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID63X75 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 SID63X75. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (1402 N @0.5 MPa). This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X75, which shares the same G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface. The SAI upgrade also introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
Because the second rod passes through the rear cover, it provides inherent anti-rotation properties and can drive two tools simultaneously. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 841 N (about 60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot accept a sensor. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 30 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

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).
Applies equal both-ways force for stacking electrode sheets in battery cell assembly, utilizing the double-rod's inherent anti-rotation properties to maintain parallelism.
Drives a dual-tool pick-and-place mechanism for battery tab handling, ensuring synchronous movement without drift thanks to the matched push and pull areas.
Indexes battery modules along the pack assembly line with a safe working load of 841 N, relying on adjustable cushions to decelerate at stroke end.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X75, specify the SAID63X75. It is a true drop-in swap: identical 63 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 1402 N equal-both-ways force @0.5 MPa, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions (Basic, FA, LB, TC). When sizing both ways, verify your load against the 1402 N @0.5 MPa rating; if you need less force, the neighbouring 50 mm bore offers 825 N, while the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. A double-rod design is the right choice when you need anti-rotation resistance or must drive two mechanisms from one piston. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot use magnetic switches. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, carefully manage side-load moments to prevent premature seal wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID63X75 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X75. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically, it is identical to the SID63X75. The SAID63X75 matches its 63 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting.
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 air port is G3/8. It operates at 30-800 mm/s and features a 20 mm rod with an M16x1.5 thread.
