Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X250SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X250SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 250mm 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-MAC16X250SCA
Half a metre of standard range means this 250 mm stroke is still a catalogue item for the 16 mm MAC family, and the CA pivot back cover makes it drop-in for swing-link mechanisms. The double-acting piston delivers 100.5 N on extend and 86.4 N on retract at 0.5 MPa, runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and carries a variable air cushion at both ends plus a factory-fitted magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
Think of the 100.5 N rating as 60 N of dependable work at 0.5 MPa; translated to lifting, that is about 5 kg vertical with a 2:1 factor. The stainless barrel is rolled into the aluminium-alloy covers, giving a sealed round body with nothing to work loose in humid or dusty halls, while the hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod takes the 250 mm reach best as a straight pull - add a guide or Y knuckle if the load can twist.

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-MAC16X250SCA Is Used
Lane diverter on a packaging conveyor
Swings a lightweight diverter across a 250 mm lane to redirect cartons; the cushioned ends absorb each park position and an EMSG switch verifies the divert state.
Sliding door latch on a cleanroom cabinet
Pushes a latch bar across a storage cabinet; the stainless round body tolerates regular disinfectant wipes and the CA pivot cover links straight to the latch arm.
Stretch station on a small thermoformer
A long light pull stretches film edges before heating; 86.4 N retract force at 0.5 MPa handles the thin frame and the 30-800 mm/s speed band matches the cycle.
Is the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X250SCA the Right Cylinder?
A 250 mm stroke at 16 mm bore suits long light pushes - gate swings, diverters, sliding covers. Compare against a 20 mm bore (157.0 N at 0.5 MPa) or a 25 mm bore (245.3 N) if the load approaches the 60 N working figure of this cylinder. Air cushioning keeps the long travel from slamming and cycling can run from 30 to 800 mm/s, but the MAC holds no position when air is removed, so a pilot check valve or rod lock is needed where a load must stay put. The CA pivot cover pairs with SDB pivot brackets or a front Y knuckle for linkage work, FA flange and LB foot cover fixed frames, and G or NPT threads are orderable alternatives to the standard PT.
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-MAC16X250SCA FAQ
Push 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; push 140.7 N and pull 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rod thread is M6x1.0 on a 6 mm rod, air ports are M5x0.8, and the 250 mm stroke is standard within the 500 mm maximum for this bore.
The piston magnet comes as standard on this model, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches simply clamp onto the 16 mm stainless barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signalling - no special piston or retrofit is ever required.
