Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X100SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X100SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 100mm 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-MAC20X100SCA
Pivoting linkages and swing arms are where the CA pivot back cover earns its keep: mount the MAC20X100SCA through its rear pivot eye and the cylinder follows the arc of the mechanism instead of fighting it. The 20 mm bore pushes 157.0 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, with a variable air cushion easing the rod into both ends of the 100 mm stroke.
Its stainless round body resists washdown and outdoor damp far better than painted minis, and the hard-chrome 8 mm rod keeps wear low over millions of cycles. A magnet comes built in, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. As a sizing guide, treat roughly 94 N as the realistic working force at 0.5 MPa, or about 8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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-MAC20X100SCA Is Used
Swing-arm part transfer
Swings a lightweight pick-up arm between two conveyor lanes; the CA pivot lets the body track the linkage across the full 100 mm stroke.
Mixing-head lift on a lab doser
Raises and lowers a small dosing head; 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa handles the head weight with margin, and the cushion protects fragile glassware.
Index stopper on a packaging line
Extends to halt cartons at an inspection station; the built-in magnet plus a DMSG switch confirms the stop is fully deployed before the cycle continues.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X100SCA the Right Cylinder?
Need more force? The 25 mm bore reaches 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa; the 16 mm bore makes do with 100.5 N if your linkage is light. This model uses 1/8" ports and an M8x1.25 male rod thread, with PT as the default thread option. Pair the rear pivot with FA flange, LB foot or SDB brackets when a second fixing point helps. Like any double-acting cylinder it will drift once the valve centres - a pilot check valve holds the position. The 100 mm stroke is catalog standard here; up to 500 mm is available without special order.
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-MAC20X100SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 157.0 N push and 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical ceiling for a 20 mm bore is 32.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with cycle speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
Back both cushion needle screws fully out before startup, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke bounce disappears. The variable cushion works independently at each end, so you can soften one direction for fragile loads while keeping the other crisp.
