The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X25SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 25mm 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 turns this 16 mm bore MAC into a pin-mounted actuator: drop a clevis pin through the cover eye and the cylinder swings freely with the linkage. Stroke is a quick 25 mm, push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, and the double-acting piston carries a variable air cushion at both ends to soften the last millimetres. Air quality is simple - filtered to 40 um, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.
Halving the 10 kg-equivalent push rating gives roughly 5 kg of vertical lift at a comfortable 2:1 margin, plenty for raising a small inspection camera head. The stainless rolled barrel and hard-chrome plated rod shake off splash and humidity that would pit an aluminium mini, and the built-in magnet means CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches bolt straight on. Back the cushion needles fully off before first pressurisation.

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 compact rotary indexing table releases its detent through a swinging lever pinned to the CM eye; 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa retracts it cleanly.
A gantry-mounted inspection camera head of about 5 kg is lifted with a 2:1 margin on the bore's 10 kg-equivalent push rating at 0.5 MPa.
A benchtop filler guide arm dips a syringe barrel a fixed 25 mm; the round-end pivot follows the arm arc without binding.
Compare before you commit: the 20 mm bore offers 157 N and the 25 mm bore 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa if the linkage meets real resistance. A plain MAC cannot park its load when the valve centres, so fit a pilot check valve wherever the linkage must hold position through a pressure drop. The CM eye suits a swinging link; the U flat-end cover or an FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket covers fixed mounting.
With only 25 mm of travel, rod bending is unlikely, yet keeping the load aligned with the 6 mm rod still pays off in seal life. Sensor feedback is built in via the standard piston magnet - no special-order piston required.
Quick checklist
Figures for the 16 mm bore: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Ports are M5x0.8; the 6 mm rod carries an M6x1.0 thread.
The round barrel is high-precision stainless steel with aluminium-alloy covers rolled and riveted onto it, and the 6 mm rod is carbon steel plated with 20 um of hard chrome. Mild splash, humidity and light washdown that pit painted mini cylinders are handled without rust-through, though aggressive chemical cleaning is outside its scope.
