Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X160SCM
The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X160SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 160mm 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-MAC16X160SCM
Round in section and sealed by rolled-over covers, the MAC16X160SCM is a double-acting mini cylinder with a variable air cushion at each end. Its stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod shrug off washdown and condensation, an edge over painted-steel minis in damp food or outdoor spots, and the magnet ships built in so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special piston.
Fed with filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa (72 psi) - call it 10 kg of thrust, of which about 60 N is a sensible working figure for long seal life, enough to lift about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Speed spans 30-800 mm/s, and the needle screws on both cushions let you open the damping gradually until end-of-stroke shock disappears, so the 160 mm stroke can be run briskly without hammering the round-end covers.

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-MAC16X160SCM Is Used
Vial diverter on a pharma line
Kicks vials off a sorting lane with 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa while the stainless barrel survives the line's alcohol wipe-downs; the 160 mm throw clears a full lane width.
Stopper press on a lab filler
Seats rubber stoppers in small vials - about 60 N of working force at 0.5 MPa presses home without cracking glass, and the cushion eases the last millimetres.
Pivoting guard-door latch
The CM round-end back cover pins directly to the door linkage, so the 160 mm stroke pulls the latch open on every cycle with no bracket stack.
Is the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X160SCM the Right Cylinder?
Bore 16 is the smallest MAC bore, so grow the family when the load climbs: bore 20 reaches 157 N push at 0.5 MPa and bore 25 reaches 245.3 N. On a 160 mm stroke the 6 mm rod carries little side load, so guide the payload on its own rails rather than leaning on the rod. The cylinder holds nothing when air drops - centre the valve and the rod drifts - so pilot a check valve or specify a rod lock if a position must persist. The CM round-end back cover pins straight to a swing link; add an SDB pivot bracket, FA flange or LB foot as the frame demands.
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-MAC16X160SCM FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, and the theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa is 20.5 kgf. The port is M5x0.8, the piston rod is 6 mm with an M6x1.0 male thread, speed runs 30-800 mm/s, and double-acting cushioned operation is standard at both ends.
Yes. Every MAC16X160SCM leaves the factory with the magnet inside the piston, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches mount on the barrel and read end-of-stroke positions straight away.
