This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X900S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X900S 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-SID63X900S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X900S 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-SAID63X900S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X900S
The B06-SID63X900S is an AirTAC ISO 15552 double-rod, double-acting cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID63X900S. Mechanically identical to the base model, it features a rod exiting both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 63 mm with a G3/8 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30 mm adjustable cushions at each end. This SID model is discontinued and the direct drop-in replacement is the SAID63X900S, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface and adds an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure.
Because force is equal both ways, the back rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously without force mismatch. For the 1402 N @0.5 MPa rating, the computed safe working load is roughly 841 N (60%), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAI replacement uses current AirTAC switches). Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so for held loads use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X900S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise cell stacking and alignment in module assembly, using the back rod to carry a sensor cam for synchronized positioning.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual-tool transfer mechanisms on battery pack lines, ensuring consistent push and pull force without the mismatch found in single-rod cylinders.
Tab Welding Press
Provides anti-rotation stability for tab welding and electrode handling in battery manufacturing, maintaining strict alignment over the 900 mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X900S with the B06-SAID63X900S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X900S, specify the SAID63X900S, which matches the 63 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting footprint (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). When sizing, verify both ways force is sufficient: this bore provides 1402 N @0.5 MPa and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. If a smaller footprint is needed, the 50 mm bore offers 825 N @0.5 MPa, while the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N @0.5 MPa. A double-rod design is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability, equal push/pull forces, or a back rod for sensor mounting. Retain the -S magnet option for position sensing. Because the stroke is 900 mm (>=300), external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending and manage side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID63X900S
- ✓ 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-SID63X900S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID63X900S (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SID63X900S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X900S. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 63 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal both-ways force, while adding an upgraded piston seal.
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, the rod thread is M16x1.5, and speed is 30-800 mm/s. The cushion only decelerates; use an external rod lock for load holding.
