Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X500SCA
The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X500SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 500mm 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-MAC16X500SCA
At the top of the standard stroke range for bore 16, the MAC16X500SCA travels a full 500 mm and cushions at both ends. This double-acting round mini cylinder pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa - roughly 60 N of dependable working force once you size with margin - and pulls 86.4 N.
Its CA pivot back cover swings on a pin, letting the cylinder follow linkage motion without a separate clevis bracket. The riveted stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod resists corrosion in food, outdoor and humid plants, and the standard piston magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches out of the box.

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-MAC16X500SCA Is Used
Pick-up arm lowering
Extends a suction arm down 500 mm to lift flat cartons off a pallet layer; pair with a check valve to hold the vacuum-side load.
Cable-guide traversing
Traverses a guide pulley across a wire-winding spool; the CA pivot cover follows the gantry arm's arc.
Test-rig actuator
Applies about 60 N of working push for go/no-go spring checks on an automotive harness test bench.
Is the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X500SCA the Right Cylinder?
Bore 16 is the entry point of the range, so upsize rather than downsize: bore 20 gives 157 N push at 0.5 MPa if this bore's 100.5 N feels tight. Note that a plain MAC cannot hold a load against gravity or spring-back once air is cut - plan a pilot check valve or rod lock. A 500 mm stroke on a 6 mm rod demands careful alignment; guide the load so side loads stay minimal.
Ports are M5x0.8 with PT, G or NPT thread choices. For fixed mounting, add the FA flange or LB foot alongside the pivot cover.
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-MAC16X500SCA FAQ
100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa; theoretical max 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Double acting, variable cushion both ends, 30-800 mm/s, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors all clamp onto the stainless barrel with no special piston order. Position sensing along the full 500 mm stroke is simply a matter of sliding the switch to the trip point.
