Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X40SU
The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X40SU 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-MAC16X40SU
The U flat-end back cover on the MAC16X40SU gives designers a clean fixed mounting face, backed by 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. Double-acting air power moves the 6 mm rod both ways, and the variable cushion can be opened or closed at either end to suit the cycle. It operates from 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s.
Where painted minis flake and seize in damp corners, this one keeps a stainless barrel and a 20 um hard-chrome rod working - a genuine advantage near washdown tables or outdoor conveyors. Sensing needs no ordering tricks either: the magnet comes standard, ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Rating-wise, the 100.5 N push corresponds to a theoretical vertical lift of about 10 kg; halve that for a 2:1 margin and you can comfortably raise a 5 kg assembly jig component.

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-MAC16X40SU Is Used
Optics lens holder clamp
Clamps delicate lens carriers in an alignment jig; 100.5 N is gentle enough with a pressure regulator, and the flat U end bolts flush to the jig plate.
Dispensing depth stop
Sets needle height on a small adhesive dispenser; the cushion absorbs the down-stop, and an EMSG switch verifies the seated position each cycle.
Hopper sorting flap
Routes tiny fasteners between two chutes under a parts hopper; the stainless barrel handles dusty, slightly oily conditions that would rust painted minis.
Is the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X40SU the Right Cylinder?
Nothing sits below the 16 mm bore in this series, so treat it as your lightest option and move to 20 mm (157.0 N at 0.5 MPa) when loads grow. If the load must stay extended through a valve-off state, note that the rod will drift - a rod lock or pilot check valve is the fix. The U end covers plain face mounting, while FA flange, LB foot and SDB pivot brackets extend the options; the magnet is factory-fitted, not an add-on.
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-MAC16X40SU FAQ
Yes: push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it is 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull; the theoretical ceiling is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air connection is M5x0.8, rod thread M6x1.0, rod 6 mm. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-800 mm/s, with a 40 mm stroke on this model.
In damp, food-adjacent or outdoor settings, definitely. The rolled stainless tube with a hard-chrome plated rod resists the rust and flaking that ruin painted or plain aluminium mini cylinders, keeping the low-friction bore seal intact for longer - and because the magnet is standard, sensor retrofits later need only a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch.
