Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X10SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X10SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 10mm stroke, PT/G air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.

About the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X10SCA
Ten millimetres of travel, 100.5 N of push: the MAC16X10SCA is made for short, punchy eject and clamp moves where a longer cylinder would waste space. It is double acting with needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends, running 30-800 mm/s on 40 um filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
A riveted stainless barrel, hard-chrome 6 mm rod and aluminium covers keep it alive through coolant mist and washdown. The CA pivot back cover swings inside a die or fixture linkage, and the standard built-in magnet lets a CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switch report position out of the box. Vertically, the 100.5 N rating is about 10 kg of lift - with a 2:1 margin, call it 5 kg.

Where the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X10SCA Is Used
Die ejector pin drive
Ten mm of travel is enough to free a finished stamping from a small progressive die, pushed by 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa.
Checkweigher reject finger
A short, fast flick nudges underweight coffee packs off the belt; at 800 mm/s the 10 mm move completes in a fraction of a second.
Test-probe lift on PCB fixtures
The rod lifts a spring-probe block 10 mm so an operator can swap boards, and a CMSG switch confirms the clamped position.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X10SCA the Right Cylinder?
Ten millimetres suits ejection and flick moves; beyond roughly 15 mm of travel, move up in stroke, and beyond 100.5 N of push, move up to the 20 mm bore at 157 N and 0.5 MPa. On such a short stroke, open both cushion needles before first run so the rod does not hammer the covers at speed. Air loss leaves the rod unheld - a pilot check valve keeps a part clamped if that matters. Mount with the CA pivot plus FA flange, LB foot or SDB options and an I or Y knuckle.
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 On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X10SCA FAQ
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa the numbers become 140.7 N and 120.9 N, and theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Stroke is 10 mm and speed spans 30-800 mm/s.
Short ejector and clamp linkages still need a swinging joint, and the CA end provides the pin without adapters. The stainless round barrel stands up to coolant mist, and the built-in magnet suits CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches for confirming the 10 mm move.
