The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X300SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 300mm 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 MAC16X300SCA covers long, slim moves in a 16 mm package: double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa. Its riveted stainless round barrel and 20 um hard-chrome rod shrug off washdown better than painted mini cylinders, and the CA pivot back cover lets the body swing on a clevis pin without extra brackets.
Because the piston carries a standard magnet, CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clamp straight on for end-of-stroke checks. Run it 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um; in practice keep the real workload near 60 N (about 0.6 of the push rating) and the rod will lift roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.
| 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.

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.
The CA pivot swings the cylinder as the arm arcs over; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa easily flips light tray lids across the full 300 mm reach.
A 300 mm slide exposes and covers a test nest, while DMSG switches on the standard magnet confirm open and closed positions.
The stainless barrel and chrome rod tolerate repeated wipe-downs, and the 6 mm rod handles 60 N-class vial trays without side-load fuss.
If 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is short for the job, step up to a 20 mm bore (157 N) or 25 mm bore (245.3 N); nothing smaller exists in this family, so use a regulator to trim excess force. Like every unpowered round mini, the rod drifts when air is cut - fit a pilot check valve or rod lock where a 300 mm load must stay put. Long strokes like this one amplify side loads, so guide the part or add an external linear guide to protect the 6 mm rod. The CA pivot cover plus the standard magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches round out the package.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 140.7 N and 120.9 N. The theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa is about 20.5 kgf on this 16 mm bore, with an M5x0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread.
Back both needle screws fully off before the first cycle, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke impact disappears. The variable cushion at each end lets the cylinder run up to 800 mm/s or carry heavier loads without pounding the aluminium covers.
