The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X50SU 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.
Compact, corrosion-minded and simple to mount: this MAC16X50SU uses a U flat-end back cover with tapped fixing faces for direct bolting to machine plates. The 16 mm double-acting barrel delivers 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa over a 50 mm stroke, cushioned variably at both ends so you can run quicker cycles without hammering the covers.
Because the riveted stainless barrel and chrome-plated carbon-steel rod resist washdown chemistry, the cylinder suits food benches, outdoor gates and wet machining cells where painted minis rust through. A magnet is standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches read end positions without ordering options. Size the job for about 60 N of working push at 0.5 MPa - the balance of the rating absorbs friction, seal drag and pressure dips.

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.

| 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.

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.
Pinches a bracket against a jig during tack welding; the chrome rod and stainless barrel shrug off spatter and grinding dust.
Releases one coin per cycle; a CMSG switch flags the extended position back to the controller.
Shifts tablets between two blister lanes; variable cushioning stops the divider without jolt over the 50 mm travel.
Start here if your load stays under about 60 N; heavier jobs belong on the 20 mm bore, which pushes 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa, or larger. The U cover plus FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot brackets cover most fixed layouts, and I or Y rod knuckles handle offset linkages. The piston is free to drift once air is removed, so a pilot check valve or rod lock is the answer for loads that must be held.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. Peak theoretical force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
The flat end presents tapped fixing faces, so the cylinder bolts straight onto a machine plate or bracket with no adapter. Add an FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot when the layout calls for face, base or pivoted mounting instead.
