Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X30SCM
The AirTAC B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X30SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 30mm 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-MAC16X30SCM
A compact 16 mm bore mini cylinder with a 30 mm stroke, the MAC16X30SCM runs double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures climb to 140.7 N and 120.9 N, with a theoretical peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plated rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown, a real edge over painted-steel minis in damp spots. Aluminium covers are riveted onto the barrel for a sealed body. The CM round-end back cover suits fixed mounting without extra brackets, and the built-in magnet - standard on every MAC - lets CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clip straight on.

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-MAC16X30SCM Is Used
Lab gate latch
Swinging a small sample-drawer gate on an analytical instrument bench: 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for a light door, and the 30 mm stroke matches a compact hinge throw.
Bench fixture clamp
Clamping small aluminium brackets during solder or glue work on a jig; about 60 N of usable push holds parts firmly without marking soft faces.
Presence flag
With the standard built-in magnet and a CMSG switch, the short 30 mm stroke doubles as a part-present flag on a small assembly cell.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X30SCM the Right Cylinder?
If 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is borderline for the job, step up to the 20 mm bore, which pushes 157.0 N under the same pressure; there is no smaller bore in the MAC range, so 16 mm is the light-duty floor. If the load must stay put with the valve centred or air lost, note that a plain MAC drifts - add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The CM round-end cover plus FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets cover most fixed layouts, and I or Y rod knuckles take up misalignment.
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-MAC16X30SCM FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 140.7 N and pull to 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and both stroke ends carry a variable air cushion.
The 16 mm bore uses M5x0.8 ports, a 6 mm hard-chrome plated rod with M6x1.0 male thread, and ships with the magnet built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special-order piston. Threads are PT as ordered, with G and NPT options.
