The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X225SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 225mm 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.
Stretching a 16 mm bore to a 225 mm stroke, the MAC16X225SCA holds 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa across the full travel and 86.4 N on return, still comfortably inside the 500 mm standard-stroke ceiling of this bore. Variable air cushions at each end ease the rod into its covers, so longer, faster strokes need not end in a bang.
The long, slender 6 mm rod is sensitive to side loads, so guide the part externally rather than leaning on the rod itself. In practice, budget about 60 N of working force at 0.5 MPa, which translates to a vertical lift near 5 kg once a 2:1 margin is kept. CA pivot eyes at the back cover swing on a clevis pin, and the built-in standard magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for mid-travel signalling.

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.

| 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.

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.
A 225 mm reach clears the full lane width in one stroke; about 60 N of practical force moves empty vials, and end cushions stop the pusher snapping back.
Long smooth travel with dual cushioning eases the probe down the column, while the built-in magnet and an EMSG switch confirm the full-depth position.
The CA pivot eye on a clevis link gives a forgiving swing into the chute mouth, and the stainless barrel survives the cleaning regime of a pharma packing line.
Over a 225 mm stroke even a small side force bends the 6 mm rod, so add an external guide, bushing or rail for any laterally loaded job. If 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal for the payload, the 20 mm bore at 157.0 N is the next size up. Remember the cylinder does not retain position when air drops or the valve centres, so pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve where the carriage must park. The CA pivot suits swing-link motions; FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets handle fixed frames.
Quick checklist
The full 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N and 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply is air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, cushioned variably at both ends.
Alignment. Over 225 mm of travel, slight misalignment compounds into side load that can bend the 6 mm rod, so use the CA pivot on a clevis for swing motion or an FA flange / LB foot with an external guide for linear jobs. Ports are M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
