About the Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA16X50SCA
Short 50 mm strokes are where the MA16X50SCA earns its place: a 16 mm bore round-body cylinder, double acting, with fixed anti-impact bumper pads rolled up inside a stainless barrel. At 0.5 MPa the piston delivers 100.5 N on extend and 86.4 N on retract; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 140.7 N, with 20.5 kgf the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa.
The CA back cover is a pivot eye, so the cylinder can swing with the motion of a lever or linkage instead of fighting it - no extra bracket needed. Practical sizing: treat about 60 N as your usable push at 0.5 MPa; that is a vertical lift of roughly 10 kg at full rating, or 5 kg with a 2:1 margin. The magnet is factory-fitted, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches snap straight on.

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-MA16X50SCA Is Used
Reject finger on a filler line
A 50 mm flick knocks mis-filled bottles off the conveyor; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa handles lightweight glass with room to spare.
Small bracket clamp
Around 60 N of usable clamping force holds aluminium brackets while a screw is driven, releasing in a fraction of a second.
Analyser flow diverter
The pivot eye swings a small diverter plate in a gas-sampling manifold, with the magnet and a CMSG switch proving the seat.
Is the Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA16X50SCA the Right Cylinder?
For a 16 mm bore there is nothing smaller in the range; if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels light, step to the 20 mm bore and its 157.0 N push. The 50 mm stroke keeps the body short, ideal where a longer cylinder simply will not fit between machine plates. Remember the rod moves freely when air is vented - bumpers only cushion the stroke ends - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Mount via the CA pivot eye, or add FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot hardware; ports are M5x0.8 with an M6x1.0 rod thread.
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-MA16X50SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push, 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push, 120.9 N pull. Theoretical maximum 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 30-800 mm/s, double acting with fixed bumper pads.
The CA back cover integrates a pivot eye on the round body, letting the cylinder articulate with linkages or hinged tooling without a separate knuckle bracket - and the standard magnet still accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches.
