Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X150SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X150SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 150mm 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-MAC16X150SCA
Pivot duty is where the MAC16X150SCA earns its keep: AirTAC's 16 mm round-body mini cylinder, double acting with a variable air cushion at each end and a 150 mm stroke. Push force is 100.5 N and pull force 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, with 140.7 N available at 0.7 MPa. Air supply of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speeds of 30-800 mm/s cover most light automation.
The CA pivot back cover lets the cylinder swing through an arc, so lever and linkage jobs need no add-on knuckle. Theoretical lift at 0.5 MPa works out near 10 kgf; halve it for a 2:1 margin and this bore raises roughly 5 kg vertically. A magnet is built in as standard, so a CMSG or EMSG switch snaps on for end-of-stroke sensing without a special-order piston.

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-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X150SCA Is Used
Chute deflector flap
Swings a deflector flap on a bottling line diverter through its arc - the CA pivot back cover mounts straight onto the flap linkage.
Jig clamp arm
Clamps small aluminium brackets in a welding jig; 86.4 N of pull releases the arm cleanly at the end of every cycle.
Hopper gate confirm
Opens a hopper slide and confirms closure via a CMSG switch on the standard magnet, no special piston required.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X150SCA the Right Cylinder?
Compare before you commit: a 20 mm MAC gives 157 N at 0.5 MPa and a 25 mm unit 245.3 N, so stay at 16 mm only when 100.5 N push with a healthy margin covers the job. The CA pivot back cover pairs naturally with SDB pivot brackets or I and Y rod knuckles when the force line moves.
This cylinder does not hold position on lost air - the rod will drift - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. The standard magnet means a CMSG or DMSG switch can flag both stroke ends from day one.
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-MAC16X150SCA FAQ
Expect 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder is double acting, cushions variably at both ends, accepts 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air, cycles at 30-800 mm/s and breathes through M5x0.8 ports.
No. The magnet is built in as standard on every MA-series cylinder, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount straight onto the barrel and read both stroke ends without a special-order piston.
