The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X150SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 150mm 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 16 mm bore is the lightest in AirTAC's MAC cushioned family, and in the 150 mm stroke MAC16X150SU it produces 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa - enough for guides, gates and light vertical assists.
The cylinder is double acting on both strokes with a variable air cushion, and it ships with the magnet already fitted, so CMSG and DMSG switches drop straight onto the barrel. Bare stainless tube plus a hard-chrome plated rod stand up to splashes and humidity. Since 100.5 N is about 10 kgf, count on a dependable vertical lift near 5 kg once you keep a 2:1 safety margin. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and cycle speed runs 30-800 mm/s.

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.
Stops bottles on a dairy filler infeed during changeover; the washdown-safe stainless barrel and chrome rod handle daily caustic rinse.
Presses snap-on lids onto 250 ml tubs at roughly 100 N before the tubs move on to labelling.
Positions film rolls on a small stretch-wrapper; a DMSG switch on the built-in magnet confirms both stroke ends.
Step options above this bore are real: 20 mm pushes 157 N and 25 mm 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while 16 mm remains the lightest and most compact choice at 100.5 N. Max standard stroke at this bore is 500 mm, so 150 mm sits well inside the catalogue range.
Because the plain MAC releases its load when air drops, plan a pilot check valve or rod lock for any held position. Mount the U flat-end body with an FA flange or LB foot, steer external side loads away from the 6 mm rod, and use the built-in magnet with a CMSG or EMSG switch for end-of-stroke confirmation.
Quick checklist
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 140.7 N and the theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a variable air cushion, works on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air at 30-800 mm/s, and ports are M5x0.8 with a 6 mm rod threaded M6x1.0.
No - a plain MAC releases its position when air is lost or the valve centres, and the rod will drift. Fit a rod lock or a pilot check valve wherever a load must stay parked, and treat the cushion purely as an end-of-stroke shock absorber, never a brake.
