The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X225SCM 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.
With air working both sides of the piston, the MAC16X225SCM extends and retracts under power across its 225 mm stroke, and a variable air cushion at each end lets you dial out impact on the covers. This 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, topping out at 140.7 N push when you raise supply to 0.7 MPa. Speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s suit quick index moves.
Build quality is where this mini earns its keep: a stainless-steel barrel, a hard-chrome plated rod and riveted aluminium covers stand up to washdown and humidity that blister painted minis. The CM round-end back cover accepts a pivot pin without extra brackets. Keep real workload near 60 N of push at 0.5 MPa - that is the comfortable figure once friction and pressure dips are allowed for, and it lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The built-in magnet is standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on with no special-order piston.

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.

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 side-mounted MAC16X225SCM sweeps single cartons off a 200 mm benchtop conveyor lane at the packaging station's diverter.
The 225 mm stroke reaches across the sealer frame to lift the locking latch on the jaw arm before the operator loads the next pouch.
In an analytical autosampler, the cylinder advances a sample tray one position per cycle, with the cushion keeping each stop gentle.
Bore 16 is the smallest in the MA range, so if 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa feels tight, step up to a MAC20X225 at 157 N or a MAC25X225 at 245.3 N. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof. Note that when air is removed or the valve centres, the rod drifts freely - add a pilot check valve or rod lock if the load must stay put. Port is M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0; the CM round-end cover plus FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets cover most frame layouts.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the piston pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum for this bore is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rod is 6 mm with an M6x1.0 thread and the port is M5x0.8.
The MAC16X225SCM uses a variable air cushion at both ends, not a fixed bumper. On first run, back both cushion needles fully off, cycle the cylinder, then close them in small steps until the end-of-stroke impact disappears. Keep the speed within 30-800 mm/s while tuning.
