The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X250SCM 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.
The CM round-end back cover on the MAC16X250SCM gives assemblers a clean pivot point that sits inside a matching clevis or U-bracket, on a barrel spanning 250 mm of stroke at just 16 mm bore. Double-acting operation means air pushes the rod out and pulls it back, with a variable cushion at each end to soften arrival. At 0.5 MPa the piston delivers 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull; raise supply to 0.7 MPa and push reaches 140.7 N.
The body is a stainless tube with rolled-on aluminium covers and a hard-chrome plated rod, a combination that tolerates washdown and outdoor dust where coated minis fail. Count on close to 60 N of practical push at 0.5 MPa - call it a 5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The built-in magnet needs no ordering decision: CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches fit straight from the box.

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.
Above the filler bowl of a small brewery line, the cylinder presses crowns onto bottles with a cushioned final approach.

The cylinder counterbalances the tension arm of a label unwind stand, easing web tension changes without hand adjustment.
Thrust scales with bore: if 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa leaves no margin, the next size up, MAC20X250, returns 157 N, and a MAC25X250 reaches 245.3 N. Run the cylinder on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Remember the rod is free to move whenever supply pressure drops or the valve sits mid-position; a pilot check valve or rod lock holds the load instead. Mounting flexibility covers FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets plus I or Y rod knuckles, with M5x0.8 ports and an M6x1.0 rod thread.
Quick checklist
Push force is 100.5 N and pull force 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa you get 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. Theoretical maximum for the bore is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air ports are M5x0.8, rod thread is M6x1.0 on the 6 mm rod, and stroke speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
The round end is made to ride in a clevis or pivot bracket for swinging linkages. Where a fixed mount is preferred, add the FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket, and use an I or Y rod knuckle on the M6x1.0 thread to connect the load.
