The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC16X80SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 80mm 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 a 16 mm barrel pushing 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, this 80 mm stroke MAC cylinder suits light clamping and positioning on compact fixtures. Air drives the piston both ways, and a variable air cushion at each end soaks up stop shock. Run it anywhere from 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
The riveted stainless barrel and hard-chrome 6 mm rod shrug off washdown and damp shop air - a real edge over painted mini cylinders. Every unit ships with a built-in magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on. In practice, size real work to about 60 N at 0.5 MPa; vertically that is roughly 5 kg of lift with a 2:1 margin.

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.

| 0.5 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.

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 nylon caps off a benchtop assembly die, using the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa and 80 mm of travel to clear the nest every cycle.
Slides a small guard gate open and closed; the standard magnet feeds position signals to the PLC through a CMSG switch mounted on the barrel.
Holds lightweight circuit boards against a fixture; tune the variable cushion so delicate parts never see a hard stop at either end.
For more muscle step up to the 20 mm bore, which delivers 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa; if 100.5 N is generous for your job, staying at 16 mm avoids paying for unused thrust. Ports are M5x0.8 on this bore with an M6x1.0 male rod thread. The U flat-end cover gives a fixed, compact mounting face without extra brackets. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. The 80 mm stroke sits well inside the 500 mm standard range for this bore.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N. Raise supply to 0.7 MPa and the figures become 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum for a 16 mm bore is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Keep in mind the piston moves freely when air is removed, so fit a check valve if the load must hold position.
Yes - the magnet is fitted as standard on the MA series, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches mount directly on the stainless barrel without special ordering. Position feedback can be added during the machine build or retrofitted later in service.
