Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X15SCM
The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X15SCM 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-MAC16X15SCM
Air pushing on both sides of the piston makes the MAC16X15SCM double acting, and adjustable needle screws give a variable air cushion at each end of its short 15 mm travel. Output from the 16 mm bore is modest but real: 100.5 N forward and 86.4 N back at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa. Halve the push figure for a 2:1 margin and you get a 5 kg vertical lift - handy for raising a small fixture or lid that weighs a few kilos.
Unlike painted minis that rust at the first sign of coolant mist, the riveted stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod here clean up with a hose. The CM round-end back cover gives a compact rounded mounting face without adapter blocks, and the factory-fitted magnet means an EMSG switch can be clipped on the day the cylinder arrives.

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-MAC16X15SCM Is Used
Lab sampler stroke
A 15 mm jab at 100 N is enough to dip or push a small sampling arm into a beaker line; the stainless barrel tolerates rinse-down between runs.
Label press-off
Bottles leaving a labeller sometimes need a light tap to seat the label; the short stroke and cushioned landings avoid cracking thin-walled PET.
Clutch engagement
Small textile or packaging clutches take roughly 60 N of engagement force - about what this bore delivers at 0.5 MPa once a margin is kept.
Is the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X15SCM the Right Cylinder?
For a 15 mm throw this 16 mm bore is the lightest option in the range; if the load needs more than 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, the bore 20 model nearly doubles output to 157.0 N without a much larger envelope. The CM round-end cover is the fixed-mount choice - combine it with an FA flange or LB foot when the frame demands it - while a rod-side I knuckle absorbs slight misalignment. Do not count on the cylinder to hold a load with the valve centred; air leaks past the piston and the rod creeps, so use a rod lock or check valve where position must persist.
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-MAC16X15SCM FAQ
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, with 20.5 kgf as the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Port size for bore 16 is M5x0.8 and the male rod thread is M6x1.0.
Yes - every cylinder in this series leaves the factory with a piston magnet fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches mount directly on the barrel for position feedback without ordering a special piston or paying extra.
