The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X60SCM 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.
With its CM round-end back cover, the MAC16X60SCM is a double-acting cushioned mini cylinder that suits compact assemblies needing a capped, low-profile rear. The 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa - so budget around 60 N of usable force once you keep a healthy margin, enough to raise roughly 10 kg vertically or 5 kg with a 2:1 safety factor.
Inside sits a high-precision stainless tube rolled onto aluminium covers; outside, the 6 mm rod carries 20 um of hard chrome. That combination resists the condensation found near wash stations and outdoor conveyors. The variable cushion at each end is tuned by needle screws so loads can run faster without hammering the covers, and the standard magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches without a special order.

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 |

| 0.7 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.
Presses a cardboard flap down on a small packaging head, the cushion absorbing the press at the bottom of the 60 mm stroke.
Flips a divert flap to steer blister packs into a reject chute; the round-end cover fits flush inside the conveyor side plate.
Latches a machine guard that gets hosed down daily - stainless barrel and chrome rod outlast painted minis in the splash zone.
Compare before you commit: the same stroke in a 20 mm bore yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 25 mm reaches 245.3 N - pick up a size if your load needs more than the 60 N practical force this bore offers. Supply it 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). If your sequence must hold position between valve shifts, note the piston floats once air is lost; add a pilot check valve or rod lock rather than relying on the cushion. The CM round-end cover mounts through a clearance hole in your plate; FA flange and LB foot brackets bolt on when the frame needs a proper fixing.
Quick checklist
Push 100.5 N and pull 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; push 140.7 N and pull 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa; about 20.5 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa. Stroke 60 mm (standard range to 500 mm), rod 6 mm with M6x1.0 thread, M5x0.8 ports, speed 30-800 mm/s, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Back both needle screws fully off, run the cylinder gently through its 60 mm stroke, then close each screw gradually until end-of-stroke bounce disappears. This keeps the variable air cushion effective without slowing mid-stroke travel.
