Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X30SU
The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X30SU 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.

About the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X30SU
At just 30 mm of stroke, the MAC16X30SU works as a short pusher or clamp in a slim 16 mm bore. Double acting with a variable air cushion both ends, it delivers 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N and 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa (20.5 kgf theoretical max). Halve the push figure for a 2:1 margin and it lifts about 5 kg vertically.
A high-precision stainless-steel barrel carries a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod, so mild corrosion and washdown are non-events compared with painted minis. The U flat-end back cover gives a clean fixed mount with no pivot to snag on guards. The magnet ships built in as standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position switches mount without a special-order piston.

Where the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X30SU Is Used
Carton tab pusher
Kicking a folded carton tab or flap over on a small packaging bench; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa clears light card stock in a 30 mm move.
Sorter divert finger
The flat-end mount lets the cylinder bolt flush to a sorter frame to divert lightweight parts off a chute during batch counts.
Pallet pin drop
Dropping a locating pin into a fixture nest; the U flat end seats squarely against the plate with no pivot swinging the pin off-line.
Is the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X30SU the Right Cylinder?
Step from this 16 mm bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) to the 20 mm bore (157.0 N) when force runs short; nothing smaller exists in the family, so treat 16 mm as the entry point. Air is filtered to 40 um, pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed 30-800 mm/s. Remember the rod moves freely when air is removed - it does not hold position - so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. The U flat end bolts straight to machine plates; the standard magnet means CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches need no piston change.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X30SU FAQ
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa these become 140.7 N and 120.9 N, with a 20.5 kgf theoretical peak at 1.0 MPa. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), tolerates 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, works from -20 to +70 C and travels 30-800 mm/s.
The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod shrug off mild corrosion, condensation and light washdown, which shortens the life of painted or plain aluminium minis. The two-way piston seal also stores grease, and the variable air cushion at both ends dials out end-of-stroke shock so you can run faster without hammering the covers.
