The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X100SCM 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.
Fed through M5x0.8 ports, the MAC16X100SCM develops 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa over a 100 mm stroke, rising to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa. Air works on both faces of the piston for true double-acting motion, while needle-adjustable cushions at each end tame arrival shock between 30 and 800 mm/s.
The CM round-end back cover presents a boss ready for a fixed pivot pin, while the aluminium covers roll onto the stainless barrel as one sealed, riveted unit. A built-in magnet is standard, so a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch clips on without a special-order piston. For vertical work, 100.5 N equals about 10 kg of theoretical lift - apply a 2:1 margin and the rod raises roughly 5 kg.

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.

| 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.
With about 5 kg of practical vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (10 kg theoretical), the rod raises small vial trays between filling stations.
The round-end CM cover seats a pivot pin for an indexing pawl that advances a rotary table one pocket per cycle with 100.5 N behind it.
Light 86.4 N pull retracts a core pin from jewellery wax patterns without distorting them, on air filtered to 40 um.
Forces beyond the 100.5 N push of this 16 mm bore call for the 20 mm MAC, which reaches 157 N at 0.5 MPa; smaller loads fit nothing below 16 mm in this family. Expect the piston to drift whenever the valve centres - a rod lock or pilot check valve is the answer for held loads. Around the CM round-end cover, choose FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot mounting plus I or Y knuckles, and lean on the standard magnet with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches for end-position signals.
Quick checklist
On the 16 mm bore it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 140.7 N out and 120.9 N back, with 20.5 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. Working pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and proof is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Back both needle screws fully off before the first stroke, then close them gradually until the load stops cleanly at each end. The cushion is adjustable, not a brake: with the valve centred or air lost the rod still drifts, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a position.
