The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X60SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 60mm 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.
The MAC16X60SCA is AirTAC's cushioned round-body mini cylinder in the smallest bore of the family. Air drives the piston both ways, and at 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; step up to 0.7 MPa and you have 140.7 N behind the rod. Treat 60 N as your realistic working force at 0.5 MPa, and for vertical lifts remember the bore raises roughly 10 kg - halve that to about 5 kg if you want a 2:1 margin against a real part weight.
Construction is a riveted stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated 6 mm carbon-steel rod, so it tolerates washdown and damp plant air far better than painted minis. Variable air cushion at both ends lets you bleed out end-of-stroke shock with the needle screws, and the built-in magnet - standard, not an option - accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The CA pivot back cover swings on a pin for articulated clamps and feeders.

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.
Kicks finished watch screws or connector pins off a bowl-feeder track at the 60 mm mark, with the cushion taming the stop.
Clip a CMSG switch to the barrel to confirm the arm has retracted before the next screw drops into the track.
Slides microplate stacks 60 mm between stations in humid cleanrooms where the stainless barrel and chrome rod resist the atmosphere.
Bores below 16 mm do not exist in this series, so if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa feels short, move up to the 20 mm bore (157 N push) or 25 mm bore (245.3 N). Running pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed spans 30-800 mm/s, which suits quick light ejection. A plain MAC drifts when air is removed - it is not a brake - so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. If the job needs a fixed fixing instead of a pivot, keep the CA cover and bolt on an LB foot bracket; FA flange and SDB pivot brackets order the same way.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. Theoretical maximum is about 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 60 mm stroke is standard for this bore (up to 500 mm available), the rod is 6 mm with an M6x1.0 male thread, ports are M5x0.8, and the cushion plus speed range of 30-800 mm/s cover fast light duty.
No. The stainless barrel, hard-chrome plated rod and the piston magnet are all standard. CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches clip straight onto the barrel for end-of-stroke signalling - no special piston order needed.
