This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X75S 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-SID63X75S 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-SAID63X75S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID63X75S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X75S, mechanically identical in every spec. 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). It features a 63mm bore, G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and a 30mm adjustable cushion at each end. This SID model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X75S, sharing the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and mounting.
The double-rod design provides inherent anti-rotation properties and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam for the included -S magnet (compatible with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches), enabling precise positioning in cell stacking or tabbing. The SAI replacement family uses an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. For sizing, the computed buyer insight from the 1402 N @0.5 MPa force yields a safe working load of roughly 841 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

The B06-SAID63X75S 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 and anti-rotation stability ensure precise, balanced pressure when stacking and aligning battery cells during module assembly.
The dual-rod design drives two welding heads or clamps simultaneously from one cylinder, maintaining parallelism for battery tab joining.
Uses the back rod to carry a sensor cam for exact position feedback while the front rod pushes battery packs between conveyor stations.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X75S, specify the SAID63X75S (inserting an A after the leading S) which is a true drop-in swap retaining the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/8 port, and 75mm stroke. Size both ways by verifying the equal force of 1402 N @0.5 MPa fits your dynamic requirements, or step to neighbour bores (50mm or 80mm) 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 cylinder. Reuse existing FA, LB, or TC mounts. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For this 75mm stroke side-load is minimal, but for any stroke >=300 ensure adequate guide support to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID63X75S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X75S. The B06- prefix only designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SID63X75S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, G3/8 port, and 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 bore is 63mm with a G3/8 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30mm adjustable cushion. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
