Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X160SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X160SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 160mm 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-MAC16X160SCA
A 160 mm reach turns this 16 mm bore cylinder into a light transfer and positioning tool: 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa is ample for sliding small totes along a rail or opening a guard flap, and the figure climbs to 140.7 N if you feed it 0.7 MPa. Air extends and retracts the rod in normal double-acting fashion, while the variable air cushion at each end tunes the stop so a fast-moving carriage does not bang the covers. On the return side only 86.4 N is available, which works out to lifting roughly 4 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied.
The CA pivot back cover swings in a pivot support, tracking slight misalignment over the long travel - pair it with an SDB pivot bracket for a tidy install. Because the barrel is stainless and the rod hard-chrome plated, outdoor gates and wash-prone food equipment are realistic homes for it, and the factory-fitted magnet feeds a DMSG or EMSG switch without any special 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.
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-MAC16X160SCA Is Used
Lane divider arm
Swing a divider across a conveyor to split a mixed stream into lanes; the 160 mm sweep covers a wide lane and the pivot mount follows slight belt misalignment.
Guard flap opener
Push open a spring-loaded machine guard before access; 100 N at 0.5 MPa overcomes a typical latch spring with room to spare.
Depth stop feed
Feed a drilling depth stop into position on a bench press; the long stroke reaches across the table while a magnet switch signals full retraction.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X160SCA the Right Cylinder?
This model trades force for reach: the same bore is offered from 15 mm strokes upwards, and if you need more push over a long travel the bore 20 version gives 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa. Only 86.4 N is available on retraction because the rod steals piston area, so size return springs or counterweights against that lower number. The CA pivot back cover plus an SDB pivot bracket suits swing arms and flap linkages; for a rigidly fixed body choose the FA flange or LB foot option instead. Air loss means droop - nothing in a standard MAC locks the piston - so add a check valve or rod lock where a raised arm must stay up.
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-MAC16X160SCA FAQ
Extension force is 100.5 N and retraction 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it is 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. Bore 16 takes an M5x0.8 port and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
Keep side loads off the rod - over 160 mm of extension even small lateral forces bend the rod and wear the seals. Align the CA pivot mount so the body can float, and set the variable cushions at both ends so the moving part eases into the ends rather than slamming them.
