The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X50SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 50mm 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.
A round-end CM back cover gives this 16 mm MAC a smooth, bracket-friendly rear face that suits clamp collars and shop-made pivots. It is double acting - air extends and retracts the rod - and delivers 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa with a variable air cushion at each end to soften landings.
Inside, a two-way heterogeneous seal that stores grease keeps friction low over millions of cycles, while the stainless tube and hard-chrome plated rod shake off coolant mist and humidity in packaging and machine-tool cells. Bores 16-63 mm share this construction, so you can scale the same platform as machines grow. Expect roughly 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa once friction is accounted for, and match that figure to your true load rather than the headline rating.

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.
| 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.

|---|---|
| 0 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×50 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
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.
Folds minor flaps ahead of sealing; the corrosion-resistant barrel suits humid heat-seal stations.
Advances a drill guide bush 50 mm into position; the round end accepts a shop-made pivot collar.
Nudges unverified parts off the camera lane; the built-in magnet lets a DMSG switch confirm retraction each cycle.
This bore 16 unit is the lightest MAC option; moving to bore 20 raises push to 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa when a fixture needs more. The rod carries an M6x1.0 male thread, and the CM round end accepts ring collars and fabricated pivots; FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot mounts bolt on separately. Air loss means drift - the cushion only slows the piston near the ends - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve whenever the load has to stay put.
Quick checklist
Expect 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 140.7 N and 120.9 N respectively at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, fluid air filtered to 40 um.
Back the needle screws fully off before the first strokes, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke impact disappears. The cushion is variable at both ends, so each direction can be tuned independently for your load and speed.
