Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC40X15SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC40X15SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 15mm 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-MAC40X15SCA
Fifteen millimetres of travel is all the MAC40X15SCA needs to clamp, but the 40 mm bore still generates 628.3 N forward and 527.8 N back at 0.5 MPa - roughly 64 kg of vertical lift if hung from the rod, or about 32 kg once you halve it for a 2:1 margin. The riveted stainless round body and 20 um hard-chrome rod shrug off coolant mist.
Both ends carry a variable air cushion, which on a stroke this short still tames latch shock when the valve switches fast. The CA pivot back cover accepts knuckle joints directly; the built-in magnet is standard and pairs with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed sensors.

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-MAC40X15SCA Is Used
CNC fixture clamp
Fifteen mm of travel clamps aluminium blanks; 628 N at 0.5 MPa holds the part while the cutter runs.
Oven door latch
Short lock-and-release action on bakery ovens; the stainless body tolerates plant humidity from -20 to +70 C.
Index pin engagement
Drops the locating pin into a rotary dial plate each cycle, with the magnet signalling home via a CMSG switch.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC40X15SCA the Right Cylinder?
For this 15 mm stroke, a 32 mm bore saves space at 402.2 N push (0.5 MPa); a 50 mm bore doubles force to 981.3 N if your fixture needs it. The CA pivot back cover swings on a pin, so clamp arms need no adapter block, and the built-in magnet already talks to CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches with no special piston. A short stroke still drifts on lost air - a pilot check valve holds a clamped part. The 1/8" port accepts PT as standard, plus G or NPT.
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-MAC40X15SCA FAQ
Figures for this bore: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa; 128.1 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
No. Every unit carries a built-in magnet as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed switches drop straight onto the barrel. Because the stroke is only 15 mm, mount the switch where it clears the sensing band at both ends of travel.
