Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X15SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X15SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 15mm 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.

About the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X15SCA
A short 15 mm stroke keeps the MAC16X15SCA quick to cycle, yet its 16 mm barrel still delivers 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The double-acting piston works in both directions, and a variable air cushion at each end lets you bleed off end-of-stroke shock so light tooling lasts longer. Working the numbers down, plan on roughly 60 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa - about the push needed to seat a small connector or kick a light part off a chute.
Built around a riveted stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod, this round-body mini shrugs off washdown and damp shop air better than painted-steel alternatives. The CA pivot back cover accepts a trunnion-style mount without extra brackets, and because the magnet ships as standard, CMSG or DMSG switches snap on for end-of-stroke sensing.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø0mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X15SCA Is Used
Chute divert gate
A 15 mm flick with about 100 N at 0.5 MPa is enough to swing a light deflector gate across a conveyor lane between bottles or cartons.
Small-part ejection
Injection-moulded caps or terminals can be nudged off the mould face in one short 15 mm jab; the CA pivot lets the body follow a swinging cam arm.
Index pin on a rotary dial
Retractable indexing pins in dial tables need a short throw; with the standard magnet, a DMSG switch confirms the pin is home before the table turns.
Is the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X15SCA the Right Cylinder?
Fifteen millimetres of travel suits pin, gate and ejection jobs where a longer rod would just add overhang. If 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa falls short, step up to the bore 20 version of this family for 157.0 N in the same riveted round-body format - there is no smaller AirTAC bore below 16. The CA pivot back cover pairs with an SDB pivot bracket or a Y knuckle on the rod; add FA flange or LB foot mounts if the body must be fixed. The cushion is not a brake - with the valve centred or air lost, the rod drifts, so fit a pilot check valve for a load that must stay put.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X15SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. Theoretical maximum output at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. The bore 16 port is M5x0.8 and the male rod thread is M6x1.0.
Back both needle screws fully off before applying pressure, then close them gradually until the load stops hard without rebound. The variable air cushion works at both ends of the stroke, and cycle speed can be tuned anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s.
