Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X400SCA
The AirTAC B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X400SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 400mm 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-MAC16X400SCA
With a pivot CA back cover and a 400 mm stroke, this MAC takes a 6 mm chrome-plated rod through a riveted stainless barrel - a round-body build that tolerates damp and washdown far better than painted minis. Push force is 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa (140.7 N at 0.7 MPa) and the double-acting design cushions both ends with an adjustable air cushion.
The pivot capability of the CA cover lets the cylinder swing with a lever or linkage through the full 400 mm travel. Rated for 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s, it carries a standard magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.

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-MAC16X400SCA Is Used
Lever-driven clamp on a solder jig
Works through a pivot lever to hold PCBs during solder inspection; the CA cover swings with the lever, so no extra clevis is needed.
Kick-off arm at a carton infeed
Swings misaligned cartons off a belt at the infeed; the adjustable cushion stops the arm softly at both ends of its sweep.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X400SCA the Right Cylinder?
The 20 mm MA bore offers 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa if this force class feels marginal; there is no smaller MA bore. A plain MAC will not hold position when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a raised load must stay put. Mount with an SDB pivot bracket or LB foot to match the CA cover, and keep the long 400 mm stroke side-load free so the 6 mm rod is not bent.
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-MAC16X400SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa supply the 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull; at 0.7 MPa these become 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, and the theoretical ceiling is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 400 mm stroke sits inside the 500 mm standard range, with 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) working pressure and 30-800 mm/s speed.
Yes - every MAC ships with the piston magnet already installed, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches mount on the stainless barrel without a special-order piston. That makes end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signalling a drop-on fit for the pivot CA cover arrangement.
