Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X160SU
The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X160SU 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-MAC16X160SU
A flat-ended body with a short, tight package: the MAC16X160SU is double acting, variably cushioned at both ends, and built on a stainless round barrel whose covers are rolled on rather than bolted, leaving no fasteners to shake loose in service. The hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod holds its finish through humid, mildly corrosive air where painted minis bubble.
Give it 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean air and the 160 mm stroke pushes with 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa (72 psi). Budget roughly 60 N for the actual job so seals and rod bearing last, which still lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 cushion. Between 30-800 mm/s you can tune cycle time freely, and the standard-built magnet picks up CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches the day the cylinder arrives.

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-MAC16X160SU Is Used
Carton flap tucker
Folds top flaps on a small carton sealer; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for 300 g board and the flat U end bolts straight onto the sealer frame.
PCB test fixture clamp
Clamps boards into a bed-of-nails jig with about 60 N of working force at 0.5 MPa - firm contact, no crushed connectors - with the magnet flagging clamp-made to the PLC.
Presence-confirmed ejector
Pushes rejected parts off a checkweigher belt; a DMSG switch on the barrel confirms the eject stroke completed before the next carton is released.
Is the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X160SU the Right Cylinder?
Sizing up is the only direction from bore 16: bore 20 gives 157 N and bore 32 gives 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa if the 100.5 N class falls short. The U flat-end cover bolts flush against a machine face, or add FA flange and LB foot mounts when the frame needs them. Do not count on the cylinder to park anything - when the valve centres, pressure vents and the rod coasts wherever the load takes it, so a rod lock or pilot check valve is the answer for held stations. On this 160 mm stroke keep external side load off the 6 mm rod; guide the part, not the rod.
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-MAC16X160SU FAQ
Double-acting output at 0.5 MPa is 100.5 N extend and 86.4 N retract; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 140.7 N and 120.9 N, with 20.5 kgf as the 1.0 MPa theoretical maximum. Port size is M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0 on a 6 mm rod.
The barrel is stainless steel and the rod is hard-chrome plated carbon steel, so wipe-downs, condensation and mild washdown do not strip a coating the way they do on painted aluminium minis - the MAC16X160SU keeps its sealing surfaces intact cycle after cycle.
