The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X400SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 400mm 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.
Round stainless barrel, 400 mm of stroke and a flat-end U cover define this MAC. Double acting with an adjustable air cushion both ends, the 16 mm bore develops 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa - about 60 N of that is a sensible working figure - and 140.7 N once supply pressure reaches 0.7 MPa.
The riveted aluminium covers and stainless tube form a sealed round body that copes with splash and condensation, and the built-in magnet is standard, so a CMSG or DMSG switch drops on for stroke feedback. Ports are M5x0.8, rod thread M6x1.0, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s.

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 |

| 0.7 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.
Pushes a small idler roller against moving labels on a bottling line; about 60 N of practical force gives even, gentle contact.
Cracks open a compact incubator door at cycle end; the stainless build tolerates the humid chamber atmosphere without rusting.
Slides loaded fixtures 400 mm between test and unload stations; the adjustable cushion lands each shuttle without a jolt.
If your load needs more than about 60 N of working force, the 20 mm MAC delivers 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa. Remember this double-acting cylinder does not lock: with the valve centred the piston drifts, so use a pilot check valve or rod lock to park a load. For the long 400 mm stroke, align the load to the 6 mm rod or add external guides. The U cover bolts flat to a plate; an SDB pivot bracket covers applications that need a swing.
Quick checklist
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa expect 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull; theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Stroke is 400 mm (standard up to 500 mm), pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, with M5x0.8 ports.
Back the cushion needle screws fully off before the first stroke, then close them gradually until the end-of-stroke bump disappears. Because the cushion is variable at both ends, you can tune each direction separately - useful when extending into a stop but retracting into free air.
