This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAID200X600 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAID200X600 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 SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID200X600
The AirTAC Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID200X600 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 600mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAID200X600, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID200X600
The AirTAC SID200X600 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, ensuring push and pull force are equal at 15080 N @0.5 MPa, 21110 N @0.7 MPa, and 27141 N @0.9 MPa. This 200mm bore model features a 40mm rod, M36x2 thread, G3/4 port, and 50mm adjustable cushions. The SID line is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID200X600, which reuses the same mounting interface and adds an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, the back rod can drive a second tool or carry a sensor cam without force loss. This SKU has no -S magnet and cannot accept a switch. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~9048 N (60% of the 15080 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~769 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate; for load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAID200X600 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø200mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 15708 N | 15080 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 21991 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 3204 kgf | |
The SAID200X600 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.

Where the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID200X600 Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining Station
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously using both rod ends, ensuring perfectly synchronized cutting forces without requiring separate cylinders.
Equal-Force Transfer Pusher
Transfers heavy pallets on a conveyor where the retraction pull must match the extension push to maintain consistent cycle timing and prevent jamming.
Balanced Vertical Lift
Lifts and lowers a 769 kg platen vertically, utilizing the equal both-ways force to provide smooth, balanced deceleration via the 50mm cushions on both strokes.
Replacing the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID200X600 with the SAID200X600
To replace the discontinued SID200X600, install the SAID200X600 directly—it matches the 200mm bore, 600mm stroke, G3/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting. Size both directions by equal force: if 21110 N @0.7 MPa is insufficient, step up to a larger bore, as force is identical on extension and retraction. A double-rod design is right when you need anti-rotation, a back rod for a sensor cam, or equal drive on both strokes. Choose FA, LB, or TC mounts based on your fixture. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot use sensors. For the 600mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAID200X600
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID200X600 FAQ
Yes, the SID200X600 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID200X600. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 200mm bore, 600mm stroke, G3/4 port, and mounting options, while adding an upgraded piston seal.
Force is equal both ways: 15080 N @0.5 MPa, 21110 N @0.7 MPa, and 27141 N @0.9 MPa. The G3/4 port and 50mm cushions support a speed of 30-500 mm/s. It cannot hold loads without live air; cushions only decelerate.
