The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X100SU 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.
Behind its squared U back cover, the MAC16X100SU turns 0.5 MPa supply into 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull across a 100 mm stroke, climbing to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa. Double acting by design, it uses air for both the out-stroke and the return, with a variable cushion at each end to soften arrival at 30-800 mm/s.
The U flat-end cover seats flush against machine plates without adapters. Hard-chrome on the 6 mm carbon-steel rod plus the stainless barrel stands up to damp workshops and periodic washdown. As a rule of thumb, budget about 60 N of the rating for actual work at 0.5 MPa; the rest is reserve for friction and speed.

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.
| 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.

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.
The flat-end U back cover bolts flush to the feeder plate as a 100 mm slide gate pushes brass bushings into a reject chute with 100.5 N behind it.
The 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa keeps a roller arm loaded against poly film; the stainless body tolerates the damp, sticky environment.
The rod pulls a measuring probe clear of the tool before each cycle, and a DMSG switch signals when the safe parked position is reached.
Loads heavier than about 60 N of continuous work belong on the 20 mm bore, which pushes 157 N at 0.5 MPa against this cylinder's 100.5 N. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof. Because the MAC has no position lock, a rod lock or pilot check valve is needed wherever the rod must survive an air loss. FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets and an I or Y rod knuckle suit most fixings, and the standard magnet pairs with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; feed 0.7 MPa and you get 140.7 N out and 120.9 N back. Theoretical top force on this 16 mm bore is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The riveted stainless barrel plus hard-chrome 6 mm rod resists corrosion in damp, washdown or outdoor spots where painted minis rust. Ports are M5x0.8 on this bore, speed range is 30-800 mm/s, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
