The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X175SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 175mm 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.
Pivot mounting is built into the part: the MAC16X175SCA ends in a CA back cover that swings on a pin, so linkages and lever arms attach without fabricated brackets. Underneath is the familiar MAC recipe - a stainless round barrel with rolled-on aluminium covers, a hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod, and a magnet in the piston as standard for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
It is double acting with a variable air cushion at each end, fed at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and quick anywhere from 30-800 mm/s. The 175 mm stroke pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa (72 psi); keep the working share near 60 N and the seals will thank you, a margin that still raises about 5 kg vertically. Open the cushion needles gradually on commissioning and the stroke ends soft even at the top of the speed range.

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.

| 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.
Tips open a small bioreactor lid on a swing arm; the CA pivot takes the rotation directly and the stainless barrel handles daily caustic CIP wipes.
Rides a lever to keep tension on wire in a small spooling machine, where 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa balances the arm and the pivot end absorbs the arc of travel.
Pulls a sample valve lever through its link travel at a brewery pilot plant, cushioned over the 175 mm stroke so the lever never slams its stop.
If 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels light, bore 20 delivers 157 N and bore 40 delivers 628.3 N from the same family. The CA pivot suits swinging levers and lid arms; switch to the U flat end or CM round end, or bolt on FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot mounts, when the layout changes. Remember the rod is not held by anything once air leaves - a centred valve lets the load drift - so pair a pilot check valve or rod lock with any station that must stay put. On 175 mm of stroke, respect the 6 mm rod's limited side-load capacity and guide the mechanism externally.
Quick checklist
Push at 0.5 MPa is 100.5 N with 86.4 N on the pull side; at 0.7 MPa expect 140.7 N and 120.9 N, and 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. It connects through an M5x0.8 port, runs 30-800 mm/s, and its 6 mm rod carries an M6x1.0 male thread.
The CA pivot end lets the cylinder swing with a lever, linkage or lid arm as it strokes, so the 175 mm stroke follows an arc without bending the 6 mm rod - no extra clevis brackets or shims needed.
