The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X300SU 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.
A riveted stainless body, 20 um chrome-plated rod and 300 mm of travel make the MAC16X300SU a corrosion-ready choice for damp or outdoor cells. Double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, it outputs 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa on a 16 mm bore with an M5x0.8 port.
The flat-end U back cover bolts to fixed fixtures without adapters, while LB foot or SDB pivot mounts bolt on when the layout changes. Treat about 60 N as the practical workload - that halves to roughly 5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - and the standard magnet picks up CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches for position feedback.

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.

| 0 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×300 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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 U flat-end face bolts flush to the conveyor rail; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa stops lightweight boards dead across the 300 mm slide.
Rated to raise about 5 kg vertically at a 2:1 margin, the rod lifts a small camera head while the magnet feeds position data to the PLC.
Outdoors, the stainless barrel outlasts painted minis; the 30-800 mm/s speed range opens vents gently on a temperature signal.
Compare forces before you commit: 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa here, versus 157 N from a 20 mm bore and 245.3 N from a 25 mm bore - there is no smaller MA bore, so throttle or regulate to soften excess. When air is dropped the rod is free to move, so a pilot check valve or rod lock is the fix for loads that must hold over 300 mm. Keep side load off the 6 mm rod with an external guide on this stroke length, and use the flat-end U cover where a fixed face mount beats a pivot; SDB and LB brackets cover other layouts.
Quick checklist
Expect 100.5 N forward and 86.4 N return at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N and 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and about 20.5 kgf theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa. Porting is a single M5x0.8 on the cover; the male rod thread measures M6x1.0.
The rolled stainless barrel and 20 um hard-chrome plated rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, an edge over painted minis in food, damp or outdoor spots. There are no tie rods to loosen either, and the riveted construction keeps its seal through -20 to +70 C temperature swings.
