The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X60SU 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.
Flat faces on the U back cover let the MAC16X60SU nest against a machine plate with a single through-bolt, and the cylinder stays a true round-body stainless mini with a riveted barrel rolled onto its covers. Double acting with an adjustable air cushion at both ends, it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. In practice count on near 60 N of working force and a vertical lift of about 10 kg, or around 5 kg with a 2:1 margin.
The 16 mm bore reaches 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and the 6 mm hard-chrome rod keeps side scuffing off the seals in repetitive cycles. Grease-retaining two-way piston seals hold lubrication between services. Magnet is built in as standard - CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly on the barrel - and the stainless surfaces shrug off the splash found in packaging and bottling rooms.

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.
| MAC | Standard round-body mini cylinder (double-acting, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 0 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×60 | 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.
Pinches a rubber hose or cable sleeve in an assembly jig where 60 N of realistic working force is exactly enough.
Nudges defect pods off a filling line track; the stainless barrel copes with humid, washed-down surroundings.
Gently opens a small incubator or oven door 60 mm for venting, the cushion easing the swing at both ends.
Nothing smaller exists in the series, so size up when in doubt: a 20 mm bore gives 157 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 25 mm bore 245.3 N. Pressure window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Remember the MAC does not lock - centring the valve lets the rod float, so a load held mid-stroke needs a rod lock or pilot check valve. The U cover plus an FA flange or LB foot covers fixed frames, while SDB suits a pivot pin; specify G or NPT threads if your plant does not run PT.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push, 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push, 120.9 N pull. Theoretical ceiling about 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 60 mm stroke sits inside the standard 500 mm range, ports are M5x0.8, rod thread M6x1.0, rod 6 mm, speed 30-800 mm/s.
The flat rear face seats against a bracket or machine plate for a single through-bolt fixing with no pivot play. Add an FA flange, LB foot or SDB pivot bracket when the frame needs a dedicated mount, and the built-in magnet keeps CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switch positions flexible along the 60 mm stroke.
