Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X500SU
The AirTAC B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X500SU 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-MAC16X500SU
With a full 500 mm of travel on a 16 mm stainless barrel, this double-acting MAC pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa - enough for long-reach gates, lifters and sliding panels in damp or washdown-prone corners. Air drives the rod both ways, and a variable air cushion at each end soaks up the shock of long, fast strokes at up to 800 mm/s.
The riveted, rolling-packed body - stainless tube rolled onto aluminium covers with a stainless block - seals without tie-rod hardware and shrugs off the mild corrosion that blisters painted minis. A magnet comes built in, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clip on straight away with no special-order piston.

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-MAC16X500SU Is Used
Reject gate on a bottling line
Pushes misaligned bottles out of a 500 mm conveyor lane; the stainless barrel copes with daily hose-down splashes.
Sliding door on a paint booth
Opens and closes a booth slide panel; the needle cushion screws let you soften the stop in each direction.
Is the Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X500SU the Right Cylinder?
At bore 16 this is the smallest MAC AirTAC makes; if 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa feels light, step up to the 20 mm bore for 157.0 N. A 500 mm stroke magnifies side load, so guide the load on external slides and keep bending forces off the 6 mm rod. Ports are M5x0.8, and the U flat-end cover bolts to fixed brackets directly - FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot hardware can be added if the layout changes. Note the piston drifts if air is lost, because the cushion is not a brake - fit a pilot check valve or rod lock wherever the load must stay put.
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-MAC16X500SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
Yes - 500 mm is the maximum standard stroke for the 16 mm bore, so no made-to-order machining is needed. Because the rod is only 6 mm diameter over this span, guide the load externally and keep side forces off the rod to avoid bending.
