The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X450SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 450mm 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.
Spanning 450 mm of travel - inside the 500 mm standard range for this bore - the MAC16X450SCA pairs long reach with 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. The CA pivot back cover suits long swinging gates and tilting trays, while adjustable needle cushions at each end tame the momentum a long stroke builds up. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) between 30 and 800 mm/s.
The riveted stainless round barrel with a hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod keeps corrosion out of the picture across a 450 mm exposed stroke, an area painted minis rarely protect well. Every unit leaves the factory with a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. For practical planning, expect around 60 N of usable force over the full travel - enough to drag a light plastic tray or lift roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.
Lifts a lightweight gate arm on a small vertical parts elevator; the 450 mm stroke covers the full opening and the CA pivot follows the arm's arc.
Pushes shallow trays across a narrow conveyor lane; guide rails carry the tray weight so the rod sees only about 60 N of real drag over the long travel.
Slides the interlocked door of a cleanroom pass box through its full opening; the stainless barrel suits repeated wipe-downs and a DMSG switch confirms closure.
Long strokes on a 16 mm bore deserve respect: support or guide the load externally, because side loads bend the slender 6 mm rod and wear the barrel seals prematurely. If 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal for the drag over 450 mm, the 20 mm bore offers 157.0 N. With no rod lock in the design, an air-off or mid-valve position will not hold - add a pilot check valve. CA pivot mounts swing freely; FA flange and LB foot brackets serve fixed installs, and the magnet is standard.
Quick checklist
Push is 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull; theoretical maximum 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air ports are M5x0.8, rod thread M6x1.0, rod 6 mm, and the 450 mm stroke is a standard length (up to 500 mm) for this bore. Pressure window: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Keep side loads off the cylinder: guide the moved part with rails or cams so the 6 mm rod only sees axial force, and use the variable end cushions to slow the mass near both ends instead of relying on hard stops. If the door or arm must park mid-stroke without air, a pilot check valve or rod lock is required, since the standard MAC drifts freely when the valve centres.
