Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X180SCM
The AirTAC B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X180SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 180mm 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-MAC20X180SCM
Round-body stainless construction and a CM round-end back cover make the MAC20X180SCM a natural on clevis-pivoted fixtures: the 20 mm bore, double-acting piston gives 157 N at 0.5 MPa (131.9 N retracting), with a variable cushion at each end to soften the snap of a 180 mm cycle.
Inside the barrel the two-way piston seal doubles as a grease store, cutting dry breakaway after idle spells. The hard-chrome 8 mm rod and stainless tube stand up to brine, milk and rinse water, while the built-in magnet feeds position signals to CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø0mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 0 N | 0 N |

Where the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X180SCM Is Used
Yogurt cup push-off
Pushes filled yogurt cups off a rotary filler table into an inline packer; 157 N moves a cup row while cushions keep the landing quiet.
Dairy CIP probe lifter
Lifts a conductivity probe clear of a CIP rinse tank between cycles on a dairy line, where the stainless tube stands up to caustic splash.
Lathe guard door
Closes a polycarbonate guard on a bench lathe; the CM round-end pivots on a door clevis so the rod tracks the swing.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X180SCM the Right Cylinder?
Between the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 25 mm bore (245.3 N), the 20 mm MAC20X180SCM covers mid-range push and clamp jobs in a small envelope. Air runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof tested at 1.5 MPa (215 psi). If a valve centres mid-stroke expect the rod to creep under load - fit a pilot check valve or rod lock where a held position matters.
The round-end CM cover takes a clevis pin for pivoting frames, while FA flange, LB foot and SDB brackets suit fixed mounts. For 180 mm of travel, carry the load on an external guide so the 8 mm rod works in pure thrust. Ports are 1/8"; the male rod thread is M8x1.25.
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-MAC20X180SCM FAQ
No. As a plain double-acting cylinder it drifts once supply drops or the valve centres, and the end cushions are dampers, not brakes or locks. Pair it with a pilot check valve or a rod lock where a load must stay parked; the magnet-driven CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches signal position but cannot hold it.
At 0.5 MPa: 157 N extend, 131.9 N retract. At 0.7 MPa: 219.8 N extend, 184.7 N retract. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 32 kgf. Ports are 1/8" with an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
