The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X125SU 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.
Compact travel meets light force in the MAC16X125SU, AirTAC's 16 mm round-body mini cylinder, a double-acting unit with a variable air cushion at both ends. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 100.5 N and retracts with 86.4 N, and the 125 mm stroke gives compact slides more travel than a 100 mm body. In service it takes filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and cycles between 30 and 800 mm/s.
Its stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown, a real edge over painted-steel minis in damp or food-area duty. The aluminium covers are rolled and riveted onto the tube, so the sealed body has no external fasteners to shake loose in vibration. Plan for roughly 60.3 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 100.5 N rating when sizing the actual work, and the flat-end U back cover sits flush against machine plates 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.

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.
Kicks small cartons off a 300 mm wide food conveyor; 60 N of working push is ample for 200 g packs and the stainless body tolerates daily hose-down.
Raises a 15-slot sample rack of about 4 kg between analyser stations, well inside the roughly 5 kg vertical lift this bore supports with margin.
Slides a gate that diverts blister strips into two chutes on a pharmaceutical packaging line, using the full 125 mm travel.
Sixteen millimetres is the smallest bore MAC offers, so there is nothing to downsize to - if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels tight, the 20 mm bore delivers 157 N and the 25 mm bore 245.3 N under the same pressure. Air ports are M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0 on this bore.
Like every unmodified MAC, the piston drifts if air is lost or the valve centres, so fit a pilot check valve or rod lock when a load must stay put. Keep the 6 mm rod clear of side loads across the 125 mm stroke by guiding the part externally, and match the U flat-end cover with an FA flange or LB foot if a fixed base is needed.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 140.7 N, and theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-800 mm/s, uses M5x0.8 ports and a 6 mm rod with M6x1.0 thread.
Yes - the tube is high-precision stainless steel and the carbon-steel rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plating. The pair resists mild corrosion and washdown far better than painted minis, and the aluminium covers are riveted onto the tube for a sealed body.
