The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X225SU 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.
A 16 mm barrel driving a 6 mm rod over 225 mm gives the MAC16X225SU a long reach for tight spaces, with double-acting power in both directions and a variable air cushion at each end to absorb the stop. Expect 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, at cycle speeds anywhere between 30 and 800 mm/s.
The flat U back cover bolts flush against a machine face, so no clevis hardware is needed for fixed mounts. Inside, the two-way piston seal doubles as a grease reservoir, and the stainless barrel with its hard-chrome plated rod shrugs off splash and condensation that ruin painted minis. Usable push at 0.5 MPa sits near 60 N once friction and supply dips are allowed for - enough to lift about 5 kg vertically on a 2:1 margin. For positioning feedback, the standard magnet works with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches.

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.
Mounted beside a bottling line gutter, the cylinder swings a stainless flag through the photoelectric sensor beam to confirm bottle spacing.
A mobile coffee cart uses the 225 mm rod travel to lock its folding service shelf, the flat U cover sitting flush on the cart frame.
On a two-component paint dosing skid, the rod flips a small ball valve between draw and dispense positions each cycle.
Compare bore sizes by thrust: moving up one size to a MAC20X225 lifts push force to 157 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 16 mm tube suits confined frames. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); proof is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Because this is a plain double-acting cylinder, the rod sags or drifts the moment air is vented, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve for held positions. The U flat-end cover pairs naturally with LB foot or FA flange brackets, and the M5x0.8 port keeps plumbing compact.
Quick checklist
Bore 16 produces 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 6 mm rod carries an M6x1.0 thread and air connects through the M5x0.8 port.
The stainless tube plus 20 um hard-chrome plating on the carbon-steel rod resists washdown, condensation and mild chemicals, while the rolled-on aluminium covers keep the body sealed. Painted minis tend to corrode at the tube in the same damp, food or outdoor settings.
