About the Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA16X175SU
At the bottom of AirTAC's MA force ladder sits the MA16X175SU: a 16 mm bore that pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa over a 175 mm stroke, inside the series operating window of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). The 6 mm hard-chrome plated rod slides in a rolled stainless-steel barrel riveted to aluminium-alloy covers, so light washdown, humidity and outdoor dust do not chew the body the way they ruin painted mini cylinders. Air drives the piston in both directions and fixed anti-impact pads soften the stroke end; there is no adjustable cushion on this series, that job belongs to the MAC family. For real work, plan around 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa instead of the full 100.5 N rating, or expect roughly 5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. A magnet is built in as standard, so a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed or hall sensor drops straight onto the barrel without a special-order piston, and travel speed spans 30-800 mm/s.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MA-series datasheet. Barrel: stainless-steel tube (round-body, riveted rolling-packed construction); piston rod: carbon steel with 20µm hard-chrome plating; covers: aluminium alloy. Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT. Every MA-series cylinder ships with a built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position sensors.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø0mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 0 N | 0 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 0 N | 0 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 0 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA16X175SU Is Used
Micro-part ejection on an injection bench
A desktop moulding cell nudges cooled 20 g caps out of the nest; 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa clears the cavity and the stainless barrel shrugs off machine oil mist.
Probe lift in a PCB test fixture
Raises a 2 kg sensor head vertically with margin, since the bore equates to about 5 kg of safe lift at 0.5 MPa, while an onboard CMSG switch confirms down-position.
Light-carton divert on a bakery line
The 175 mm stroke sweeps small pastry trays off a narrow belt where flour-laden damp air would corrode a painted steel mini, and the fixed bumper pads absorb each divert.
Is the Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA16X175SU the Right Cylinder?
Bore 16 is the smallest MA, so there is nothing to downsize to; if 60 N of realistic working force at 0.5 MPa falls short, move up one size to the 20 mm bore, which pushes 157 N at the same pressure. Remember a plain MA does not lock its position: when the valve centres or air drops, the piston drifts, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock wherever the load must stay put. The U flat-end back cover on this SKU gives a flat fixing face for rigid mounts; swap to CA pivot or CM round-end covers, or bolt on FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets, if the installation needs them. Keep the standard PT ports (M5x0.8 here) in mind when picking fittings, and at 175 mm stroke on a 6 mm rod, guide the load externally and keep side load minimal to protect the rod bearings.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Bumper models: keep speed within the rated range.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA16X175SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. Theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Ports are M5x0.8, the rod thread is M6x1.0 and the rod is 6 mm in diameter.
Every MA is supplied with the position-sensing magnet already in the piston, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount on the stainless barrel at no extra ordering step. The U flat-end back cover presents a clean flat face for fixed screw-down mounting on brackets and machine plates, no adapter bracket needed.
