This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X900 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X900 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-SID63X900 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 900mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X900, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The B06-SID63X900 is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SID63X900 double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder, featuring a 63mm bore, 900mm stroke, and G3/8 port. The B06- prefix designates its application in battery cell, module, and pack assembly lines without altering the physical specs. 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 is replaced by the drop-in SAID63X900.
The direct SAID63X900 replacement shares the exact ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and mounting. The SAI family upgrades the piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 841 N (60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa figure), and vertical lift capacity is about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a sensor switch, and a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss—the cushion only decelerates near stroke end.

The B06-SAID63X900 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 drives precision stacking plates in prismatic cell assembly, ensuring consistent pressure on both extend and retract strokes.
The double-rod anti-rotation特性 keeps battery modules aligned during 900mm transfers between conveyor belts without torsional deflection.
Provides stable 1402 N clamping at 0.5 MPa for busbar tab welding fixtures, with the rear rod available to mechanically link a secondary motion.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X900, use the drop-in SAID63X900, which preserves the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 900mm stroke. When sizing, verify equal both-ways force is sufficient: this bore provides 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. If less force is needed, the neighboring 50mm bore offers 825 N @0.5 MPa; for more, the 80mm bore provides 2268 N @0.5 MPa. A double-rod design is right when you need anti-rotation, equal push/pull, or a back rod to carry a sensor cam. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot take a switch. For the 900mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. For load holding, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant, as cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID63X900 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SID63X900) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X900, which shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 63mm bore, 900mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal both-ways force.
The G3/8 port bore 63mm cylinder provides equal push and pull force of 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. Safe working load is ~841 N, and vertical lift is ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin.
