The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X30SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 30mm 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.
Short hops of 30 mm are where the MAC16X30SCA earns its keep: air drives the rod both ways, a variable air cushion tames each end, and the 16 mm stainless barrel with hard-chrome rod shrugs off mild corrosion in food or wet areas. Expect 100.5 N forward and 86.4 N return at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa.
The CA pivot back cover accepts a clevis pin straight away, and FA flange or LB foot add fixed mounting if needed. Plan on roughly 60 N of usable force - enough to raise about 5 kg vertically at a 2:1 margin - and the built-in magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches out of 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.
| 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. |
| ×30 | 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.
A 30 mm kick clears finished caps from the cavity; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is ample and the cushion prevents hard landings at part drop.
The CA pivot follows the lever arc through its 30 mm throw, holding PCBs while the two-way seal keeps grease in the bore.
A 30 mm flap toggle routes blister packs between chutes, with CMSG switches confirming divert position every cycle.
At 30 mm stroke the MAC16X30SCA is a compact 100.5 N pusher at 0.5 MPa; move to 20 mm (157 N) or 25 mm (245.3 N) when more force is needed, or regulate supply since 16 mm is the family floor. The piston will not park itself - centred valves and lost air let it drift, so spec a rod lock or check valve where that matters. The CA pivot suits swinging tooling; FA flange or LB foot converts it to a fixed mount, and the standard magnet keeps CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensing a zero-cost option.
Quick checklist
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa the pair becomes 140.7 N and 120.9 N, with a theoretical 20.5 kgf maximum at 1.0 MPa. The 16 mm bore is ported M5x0.8 and the 6 mm rod carries an M6x1.0 thread.
The CA pivot back cover in this model takes a clevis pin directly; FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets, plus I and Y rod knuckles, bolt on for other layouts. The back cover choice - CA, U flat-end or CM round-end - is simply set when ordering.
