Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X360SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X360SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 360mm 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-MAC20X360SCA
A 360 mm stroke is where MAC20X360SCA earns its place: double-acting bore-20 power of 157 N at 0.5 MPa delivered over a long, fully cushioned travel.
The variable air cushion at both ends is worth its keep on a stroke this long, bleeding off the energy of a fast-moving rod before it reaches the covers. The riveted stainless round barrel keeps the 360 mm body straight and corrosion-free, and the CA pivot back cover lets the whole cylinder swing inside a link mechanism. In lift terms, 157 N moves about 16 kg vertically; size the job to roughly 8 kg for a dependable 2:1 margin.

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-MAC20X360SCA Is Used
Hopper slide gate lift
Lifts a slide gate on a small ingredient hopper; about 8 kg of vertical load sits well inside the rod margin at 157 N push.
Paint booth access door
Slides a light access panel across a spray booth window over 360 mm; the long stainless barrel stands up to solvent-laden air.
Wide parts pusher on a wash line
Pushes racks of machined parts down a wash-line conveyor across the full 360 mm travel, with an EMSG switch marking the end position.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC20X360SCA the Right Cylinder?
Long-stroke caution first: an 8 mm rod over 360 mm of unsupported travel will buckle or whip under side loads, so guide the load externally and keep the rod square to its bearing. Force-wise, compare the 16 mm bore at 100.5 N push and the 25 mm bore at 245.3 N push (both 0.5 MPa) before settling on this 157 N push / 132 N pull middle ground.
Piston position is not retained when air pressure is gone - the cushion neither brakes nor holds - so a pilot check valve or rod lock is the answer where the load must stay extended. The magnet is built in for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensing along the full stroke, and FA flange or LB foot mounts steady the long body.
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-MAC20X360SCA FAQ
Push is 157 N and pull 132 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 220 N push and 185 N pull; the theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Ports are 1/8 in, rod thread M8x1.25, rod 8 mm; the 360 mm stroke sits inside the 500 mm standard range for this bore.
A long cylinder acts like a lever on its own mounting, so the rolled stainless barrel with aluminium covers and a hard-chrome plated 8 mm rod keeps the structure light yet corrosion-resistant in humid or washdown areas. Add FA flange or LB foot mounts for support, open the cushion needles fully before the first cycle, then trim for soft landings at 30-800 mm/s.
