The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X125SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 125mm 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.
A 125 mm stroke on the smallest AirTAC MAC bore, this double-acting mini cylinder carries a built-in magnet as standard and a variable air cushion at both ends. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N, so a light clamp, gate or ejector job on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) shop air sits well inside its range.
For sizing sanity, treat roughly 60 N as the realistic push effort at 0.5 MPa - that margin keeps acceleration smooth - and in vertical terms the bore lifts about 5 kg with a 2:1 safety factor. The stainless round barrel with hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod shrugs off washdown and damp corners, and the CM round-end back cover bolts straight to pivot fittings without extra brackets.

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.

| 0 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×125 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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 125 mm stroke reaches across a conveyor lane to push tipped bottles into a reject bin, with the cushion absorbing the stop at each end and a CMSG switch confirming retraction.
Moves a sample tray between wash and read stations; the stainless barrel tolerates frequent wipe-downs and the 60 N working effort is ample for a lightweight carrier.
Rotates a zone damper through a pivot linkage; the CM round-end cover takes the pivot pin directly and the variable cushion prevents damper slam at full travel.
MAC16 is the smallest bore in the cushioned range, so if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels tight, step up to a 20 mm bore (157.0 N push) or 25 mm bore (245.3 N push) in the same round-body format. Remember a plain MAC drifts when air is lost - it has no holding lock - so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. With 125 mm of travel, keep side load off the 6 mm rod; a guide or knuckle protects it on longer pushes. Every unit includes the magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches click on for end-of-stroke signalling, PT ports are standard with G and NPT on request, and the speed band spans 30-800 mm/s.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the MAC16X125SCM pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 140.7 N and 120.9 N. The theoretical ceiling is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rod is 6 mm with an M6x1.0 thread, ports are M5x0.8, and the 125 mm stroke sits inside the 500 mm standard range for this bore.
No. The magnet is built into the piston as standard on every MAC, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed or Hall switches mount directly on the 16 mm stainless barrel to signal extend and retract positions without any retrofit.
