Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X150SCA
The AirTAC B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X150SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 150mm 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-MAC20X150SCA
The MAC20X150SCA is AirTAC's double-acting mini cylinder in a 20 mm bore with a 150 mm stroke, finished with a CA pivot back cover so the body can rock on a pin with the mechanism it drives. Fed through 1/8" ports at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 219.8 N at 0.7 MPa. A variable air cushion sits at each end, so end-of-stroke shock is tuned out with the needle screws instead of hammering the covers.
Inside is a stainless round barrel rolled onto aluminium covers with a hard-chrome plated 8 mm rod, a body that tolerates washdown and damp shops far better than painted minis. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on, and speeds run from 30 to 800 mm/s.

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-MAC20X150SCA Is Used
Chute deflector arm
Swings a sorting-chute deflector on a small parcel sorter; the CA pivot body pins straight to the gate link and the cushion tames the swing at each end.
Bottle reject gate
Kicks underfilled bottles off a bottling-line rail with about 94 N of usable force, enough for lightweight PET containers moving at moderate line speed.
Sample tray indexer
Advances a 96-well sample tray one station at a time on a lab autosampler, with the standard magnet signalling home position via a CMSG switch.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X150SCA the Right Cylinder?
At 157 N of push, this 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm MAC (100.5 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 25 mm MAC (245.3 N) - step down for light indexing, up for firmer clamping. Like every double-acting MAC it drifts when air is lost or the valve centres, so fit a pilot check valve or rod lock if the 150 mm position must hold. The CA pivot cover takes a clevis-style pin directly; FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets bolt on if the frame needs them, and the built-in magnet needs no special-order piston. Over the 150 mm stroke keep side load off the 8 mm rod with a guide, since an unsupported long rod will bend under offset force.
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-MAC20X150SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N; at 0.7 MPa the figures are 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 32.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa on the 20 mm bore. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered to 40 um.
The magnet is fitted as standard on every MAC, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches mount on the barrel without a special piston. Check switch seating after mounting, then set your PLC inputs against the two ends of the 150 mm stroke.
