The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X175SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 175mm 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.
A 175 mm reach, a pivoting CM round-end cover and 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa make the MAC20X175SCM a natural for long-throw link arms. Double acting with variable air cushions at each end, it runs 30-800 mm/s on a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply and proofs to 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The round barrel is stainless steel, riveted to aluminium-alloy covers in a rolling-packed joint that will not work loose, and the carbon-steel rod wears 20 um of hard chrome against corrosion. Do the arithmetic once and design with confidence: keep real effort near 94 N for a sound margin, which corresponds to lifting roughly 8 kg vertically.

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.
| 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.

MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion), MAR (cushioned with integrated F/U mount). Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Pulling film edges taut ahead of the seal bar - the 175 mm stroke spreads the web and the adjustable cushion eases the arms home at the end of every cycle.
Swinging a gate latch open at the end of a gravity roller run - the round-end pivot matches the latch lever directly and a DMSG switch reports the locked status back to the WMS.
Seating connector modules into a test jig - about 94 N of working force seats the contacts gently, and the chrome rod shrugs off the flux fumes in the enclosure.
If 157 N at 0.5 MPa overshoots the job, a bore 16 barrel gives 100.5 N; if the arm gets heavier, a bore 25 cylinder offers 245.3 N. Note the MAC has no internal lock - centred valve, drifting piston - so hang a pilot check valve or rod lock on any load that must stay raised. The CM round end carries a pivot pin in line with the thrust; FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets handle fixed points, and the standard magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. Air enters through 1/8" ports on this bore, and external guiding matters at 175 mm: keep side load off the 8 mm chrome rod to protect the bearing and cushion seals.
Quick checklist
Push 157 N and pull 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa; push 219.8 N and pull 184.7 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
No - every MAC20X175SCM includes the magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches snap onto the stainless barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signalling with no special-order piston required.
