The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X350SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 350mm 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.
At the bottom of the MA force ladder, this 16 mm bore MAC still manages 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa. It is double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, so a light 350 mm transfer stroke can be slowed gently instead of hammering the flat-end U cover. The 6 mm hard-chrome rod runs inside a riveted stainless barrel rated for 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-800 mm/s.
Because the magnet is built in as standard, CMSG or DMSG switches clip straight onto the barrel for end-of-stroke confirmation. Keep clear of the rating limit and you still have about 60 N of real working force at 0.5 MPa - plenty for ejecting small parts or tipping light flaps. Air ports are M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0.

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.

| 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.
Slides a rack of test tubes one position per cycle on a diagnostic analyser; about 60 N of practical force is ample for light plastics, and the magnet-driven switch confirms each stop.
Deflects small parts off a packaging line sort chute; the variable cushion keeps the 350 mm travel quiet at the end of each deflection.
Positions an inspection probe into a fixture; M5x0.8 ports make the air plumbing compact inside a tight instrument cabinet.
This is the smallest MA bore; step up to the 20 mm size (157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa) if loads creep upward. With no air applied the piston drifts freely, so a vertical or held load needs a rod lock or pilot check valve downstream. The 350 mm stroke on a 6 mm rod is long for its size - keep side load off the rod and guide the work externally. The flat-end U cover suits a fixed face mount, with LB foot or FA flange brackets available if the layout needs them.
Quick checklist
The 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Stroke is 350 mm, within the 500 mm standard limit, running at 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air.
The U back cover gives a flat fixed face for direct bolting to a machine plate without an extra pivot bracket. The stainless round barrel shrugs off washdown and mild corrosion better than painted minis, and the standard magnet accepts CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches out of the box.
