This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X80 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X80 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-SID63X80 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 80mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X80, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID63X80 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, mechanically identical to the standard SID63X80. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X80, reusing the same G3/8 port, M16x1.5 thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface without changes.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. A double rod provides anti-rotation stability and allows driving two tools simultaneously. Based on the 1402 N @0.5 MPa force, the safe working load is ~841 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a sensor switch, and the air cushion only decelerates; it will not hold loads on air loss without an external rod lock.

The B06-SAID63X80 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 push/pull force and anti-rotation stability keep prismatic battery cells perfectly aligned during stacking and pressing operations.
Dual rods drive two synchronized tooling plates to shuttle battery modules between assembly stations without rotational drift.
Provides consistent clamping pressure for battery tab welding, using the back rod to carry a sensor cam on adjacent equipped models.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X80, specify the SAID63X80, which matches the 63mm bore, 80mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting footprint. Because force is equal both ways, you can size it bidirectionally: if 1402 N @0.5 MPa is insufficient, step up to the 80mm bore; if oversized, step down to the 50mm bore. A double rod is ideal when you need anti-rotation resistance or must drive two mechanisms from one piston. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC brackets. This SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot accept switches. For stroke lengths >=300mm, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID63X80 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SID63X80) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X80, which shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and G3/8 port.
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 cushions. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
