Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC40X100SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC40X100SCA 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-MAC40X100SCA
Few mini cylinders in this size class reach 628 N, yet the MAC40X100SCA delivers that push at just 0.5 MPa, with 528 N of pull and 880 N once supply rises to 0.7 MPa. Double acting throughout, it cushions both ends of the 100 mm stroke with adjustable air so fast cycles never hammer the covers.
The riveted stainless round barrel and hard-chrome carbon-steel rod stand up to washdown and humid air that ruin painted bodies. Its CA pivot back cover drops straight into a clevis, and the standard piston magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches without options. Plan real work at about 377 N at 0.5 MPa, which lifts loads near 32 kg vertically 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-MAC40X100SCA Is Used
Hopper slide gate
Drives a steel slide gate across a granule hopper outlet, the 628 N push at 0.5 MPa overcoming packed product.
Press-fit assist cylinder
Helps seat shafts into housings on a manual press, where about 377 N of working force suits aluminium fittings.
Pallet lift station
Raises a nesting pallet at a transfer point, sized from the 64 kg theoretical lift with a 2:1 margin for a 30 kg load.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC40X100SCA the Right Cylinder?
If 628 N overshoots the job, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N at 0.5 MPa; the 50 mm bore lifts 981 N for heavier duty. Air pressure is what holds every position - vent it and the rod wanders, so specify a rod lock or pilot check valve where sagging is unacceptable. The 16 mm rod on a 100 mm stroke deserves external guidance against side loads, with FA flange or LB foot mounts stiffening the setup.
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-MAC40X100SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa expect 628 N push and 528 N pull; at 0.7 MPa, 880 N push and 739 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is about 128 kgf. Air filtered to 40 um feeds the 1/8 in ports at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
Painted steel and plain aluminium barrels corrode in washdown, humid or outdoor settings, while the MAC40X100SCA's precision stainless tube and hard-chrome plated rod keep sliding smoothly for years. The rolling-packed riveted construction seals covers to the barrel with nothing to re-torque in service.
