The AirTAC Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA20X200SCM is a genuine double acting standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 200mm stroke, PT/G air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
A compact 20 mm bore round-body actuator with a 200 mm reach, the MA20X200SCM runs double acting and carries fixed anti-impact bumper pads at both stroke ends. Its stainless-steel barrel and hard-chrome plated 8 mm carbon-steel rod hold up well in damp or lightly washed-down corners of a plant, and the covers are riveted onto the tube so the whole body stays slim. The 1/8" PT ports and CM round-end back cover come as coded options in the ordering string. At 0.5 MPa this bore delivers about 157 N extending and 132 N retracting. Plan real work around 94 N rather than the full rating, and on a vertical lift keep the 2:1 margin: that is roughly 8 kg of actual part weight. The magnet is built into the piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount straight onto the barrel with no special piston order.

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.

MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion), MAR (cushioned with integrated F/U mount).

Knocks finished nylon bushings off a plastic-injection fixture; 157 N at 0.5 MPa clears a 100 g part with room to spare and the 200 mm stroke reaches across the die face.
Swings a light gate on a pharma packaging line to divert glass vials between lanes, where the stainless barrel shrugs off repeated wipe-downs and the bumper pad quiets stroke end.
Raises the lid of an 8 kg aluminum tray in an electronics test cell - the vertical-lift equivalent of this bore at a 2:1 margin, with CMSG switches confirming lid-open position.
Check the load both ways before locking the bore: a 16 mm MA only reaches 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 25 mm buys 245.3 N - so 157 N sits in the useful middle for light transfer and clamping work. The CM round-end cover keeps the tail compact; add an FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket if the frame needs a fixed mount. Keep in mind the rod will drift once air is removed or the valve centres, since nothing in this cylinder locks it - specify a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The 200 mm stroke is a normal catalog size for this bore (standard strokes run to 500 mm), but a long slender 8 mm rod dislikes side load - guide the part or fit a knuckle so the rod sees pure thrust. Speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 20 mm bore pushes 157 N (16 kgf) and pulls 132 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 220 N push and 185 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
The rolled stainless barrel with its hard-chrome 8 mm rod resists mild corrosion in humid or washdown-adjacent areas far better than painted mini cylinders, and the riveted construction keeps the outside diameter tight. The CM round-end back cover gives a compact, smooth tail for tight frames, and the built-in standard magnet lets CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on for end-position feedback.
