Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X40SCM
The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X40SCM 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-MAC16X40SCM
With its CM round-end back cover, the MAC16X40SCM tucks into machines where a flat block would foul neighbouring parts, still delivering 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Air extends and retracts the 6 mm rod, and needle screws at both ends let you tune the cushion to the load. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
Construction is a rolled, sealed stack: a stainless-steel barrel with hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod and aluminium covers, so humid workshops and splash zones do not rust it out quickly. The piston magnet ships as standard - CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors simply bolt on. In practice, budget about 60 N of usable force rather than the full rating; that still lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, matching small door flaps and grabber heads.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø0mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X40SCM Is Used
Lab autosampler probe
Pushes sampling probes into vial racks on laboratory analyzers; the 40 mm stroke and round CM end fit dense instrument decks, and 100.5 N seats probes positively.
Blister reject gate
Deflects faulty blister packs into a reject chute on a pharmaceutical cartoning line; the stainless barrel survives cleaning agents and the cushion stops gate chatter.
Slide sorter divider
Divides a stream of small castings on a sortation slide; 86.4 N of pull retracts the blade reliably, while a DMSG switch confirms the clear position.
Is the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X40SCM the Right Cylinder?
Sizing up from here, the 20 mm bore reaches 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa if your actuator loads creep above about 60 N of real work. Remember this cylinder holds nothing once air drops - the piston coasts freely - so add a pilot check valve for loads that must stay put. The CM round end plus FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot mounts cover fixed installations, and the standard magnet means position sensing costs only the switch itself.
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-MAC16X40SCM FAQ
Expect 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa; theoretical peak is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Ports are M5x0.8, rod thread M6x1.0 on a 6 mm rod. Keep continuous working loads near 60 N for a comfortable service margin.
The rounded back cover presents no sharp block edges, letting the cylinder sit close to walls, guards and neighbouring cylinders. Because the cushion at each end is adjustable, you can run the stroke fast - up to 800 mm/s - and back the needles off until end-of-stroke impact disappears, protecting both the part and the aluminium covers.
