Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X15SU
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X15SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 15mm 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-MAC16X15SU
About 60 N of practical push - that is what you can realistically take from the MAC16X15SU at 0.5 MPa, whose raw rating is 100.5 N extend and 86.4 N retract. The 15 mm stroke makes it a natural fit for clamping, pinning or nudging jobs inside tight machine frames. Air drives the piston both ways, and needle-adjustable cushions at each end absorb the last millimetre of momentum so the covers stay intact even near the 800 mm/s speed ceiling.
The U flat-end back cover presents a clean flat face for direct bolting, and LB foot or FA flange brackets can be added if the mounting surface is awkward. A stainless barrel rolled onto aluminium covers resists the coolant and cutting-fluid splash that eats painted minis, while the built-in magnet pairs with CMSG switches for simple end-of-stroke detection.

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-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X15SU Is Used
Fixture clamp
Small drilling jigs need a hold-down of roughly 60 N or more; this cylinder clamps thin aluminium brackets without deforming them.
Tray stop on a transport rail
A 15 mm pop-up stop halts plastic trays one lane at a time; the cushioned landing keeps the stop itself from rattling loose.
Spray-head lift
Lift a wash nozzle 15 mm into the spray path; with the magnet fitted, a CMSG switch confirms the head is up before the pump starts.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X15SU the Right Cylinder?
At bore 16 this is the entry point of the range, so size upward if you need muscle: bore 20 lifts output to 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa and bore 25 reaches 245.3 N, both in the same riveted round-body style. The U flat-end cover is a fixed-mount arrangement - add an FA flange or LB foot plate where the frame calls for it. Fifteen millimetres of stroke keeps rod overhang trivial, so side-load bending is not a concern here, but keep external lateral force off the rod regardless. If the load must stay clamped when air is removed, this cylinder will not hold it on its own; specify a pilot-operated check valve or a rod-lock solution instead.
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-MAC16X15SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. Theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. Bore 16 uses an M5x0.8 port with an M6x1.0 male rod thread.
Cycle speed is adjustable from 30 to 800 mm/s. On commissioning, open both cushion needle screws fully, apply pressure, then close them just enough to stop rebound. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with air filtered to 40 um.
