About the Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA20X30SCA
With its riveted stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plated 8 mm rod, the MA20X30SCA shrugs off mild corrosion in damp, food or washdown spots where painted mini cylinders fade fast. The 20 mm bore delivers 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, so for real work plan on roughly 94 N - about 60% of rating - and size the fixture to that figure. It runs on clean air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s, and a fixed anti-impact bumper pad softens each stroke end by decelerating the piston rather than cushioning it like an adjustable damper. Air drives the piston both out and back - this is a fully double-acting cylinder - and the CA pivot back cover accepts a clevis pin so the body swings without extra brackets. Every MA-series piston carries a built-in magnet as standard, letting a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch clip on for end-of-stroke signal. Vertically the 157 N push equals about 16 kg; halve that for a 2:1 margin and this unit lifts roughly 8 kg, a comfortable match for cap weights, small castings or loaded vial trays.

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-MA20X30SCA Is Used
Small-part clamping
Clamps connector housings or sensor caps in a fixture with a 30 mm jaw throw on a rotary indexing table, applying about 94 N of dependable work force at 0.5 MPa.
Vial tray positioning
Raises and lowers sample trays in a laboratory autosampler; the 20 mm bore lifts roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, and a CMSG switch confirms tray-in-place.
Reject gate swing
Pivots a divert gate on a snack-food conveyor through its CA pivot eye, where the stainless barrel handles daily wipe-downs and the fixed bumper stops the gate quietly.
Is the Airtac B01-MA Special Cylinder B01-MA20X30SCA the Right Cylinder?
The 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm class (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 25 mm class (245.3 N), making it the middle choice for small clamps and lifters where 30 mm of stroke is enough. Bear in mind a plain MA drifts once the valve centres or supply air drops - if the load must stay put, add a pilot check valve or step up to a rod-lock type. Bolt on an FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket to suit the machine, and hang an I or Y rod knuckle from the CA pivot eye; ports are 1/8" and the male rod thread is M8x1.25.
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-MA20X30SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N; at 0.7 MPa output rises to 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and rod speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
The magnet comes built in on every MA-series piston as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches mount directly onto the 20 mm stainless barrel for stroke-end detection - no special-order piston or paid sensor option is needed.
