Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X40SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X40SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 40mm 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-MAC16X40SCA
A compact double-acting mini cylinder with a variable air cushion at each end, the MAC16X40SCA pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The CA pivot back cover bolts straight onto a swinging bracket, so light clamping and small-part transfer tasks need no extra knuckle hardware. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
The riveted stainless round barrel and hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod stand up to damp and washdown spots that pit painted mini bodies. A magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip on without a special-order piston. For sizing, keep real work to roughly 60 N - about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating - which covers lifting a 5 kg part vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø0mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 0 N | 0 N |

Where the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X40SCA Is Used
PCB depaneling ejector
Kicks finished boards or cut offcuts off a depaneling jig; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for a few hundred grams, and the CA pivot swings with the ejector arm.
Bottle guide gating
Swings a guide rail in and out on a beverage filling line; the stainless barrel tolerates constant rinse-down, and the cushion keeps the gate from slamming.
Connector test clamp
Holds small connector housings in an electrical test fixture; the built-in magnet drives a CMSG switch to confirm clamp closure before the test starts.
Is the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X40SCA the Right Cylinder?
This 16 mm bore is the smallest in the cushioned MAC range; if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels tight, step up to the 20 mm bore for 157.0 N. As a plain double-acting unit the rod drifts when the valve centres or air is lost - fit a pilot check valve or rod lock for held positions. The CA pivot end suits swinging mounts, and FA flange or LB foot brackets bolt on when a fixed base is required; the magnet is included from the factory.
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-MAC16X40SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it produces 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull; at 0.7 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air ports are M5x0.8, the rod thread is M6x1.0, rod diameter is 6 mm, and operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 30-800 mm/s speed.
The CA pivot end lets the cylinder swing on a bracket for clamps, gates and ejector arms without added knuckles. The magnet is built in as standard on every MAC16X40SCA, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches mount directly for end-of-stroke sensing - no special piston or surcharge.
