About the Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA16X40SCA
Small bore, pivot mount: the MA16X40SCA puts 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa behind a 40 mm stroke (86.4 N pull; 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa; 20.5 kgf theoretical). Double-acting throughout, with fixed bumper pads that soften end-of-stroke impact without acting as a cushion or a lock.
Budget around 60 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa - that is roughly a 5 kg vertical lift once the 10 kg theoretical figure is halved for safety. The CA pivot eye on the back cover swings directly in a linkage or lever, saving a bracket. A stainless rolled barrel and 6 mm hard-chrome plated rod stand up to condensation and light washdown, and the standard built-in magnet drops CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches straight on. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); speed 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-MA16X40SCA Is Used
Pharma vial divert flag
Swings a divert flag that routes vials off a sorting conveyor; the CA pivot mounts the flag arm directly, no bracket needed.
Enclosure lid snap press
Snaps plastic lid clips home on control-box enclosures; about 60 N of derated force is ample for clip engagement.
Syringe tube gripper
Opens and closes a light gripper jaw on a syringe-tube pick arm; the magnet drives an EMSG switch for jaw-position feedback.
Is the Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA16X40SCA the Right Cylinder?
Force ladder: 20 mm pushes 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa and 25 mm pushes 245.3 N, against 100.5 N for this 16 mm bore - step up if your mechanism needs the extra margin. This model ports at M5x0.8 with an M6x1.0 male rod thread on the 6 mm rod. The CA pivot eye suits swinging levers and linkages, while U flat-end or CM round-end covers plus FA, LB or SDB brackets handle fixed frames. Drifting is inherent: when the valve centres, air escapes and the rod moves, so suspend loads only with a rod lock or check valve fitted.
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-MA16X40SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N. Theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double-acting, with an M5x0.8 port, M6x1.0 rod thread, 6 mm rod, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) working pressure and 30-800 mm/s speed.
The CA pivot eye here can be swapped for a U flat-end or CM round-end back cover on the same bore and stroke. For frame mounting, AirTAC offers FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets, plus I and Y rod knuckles for the load side. The built-in magnet is already fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches need no special piston.
