The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAC Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-MAC20X160SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 160mm 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 flat-end U back cover machined for direct face mounting, the MAC20X160SU trades brackets for simplicity: bolt the cover to your fixture, connect the 1/8" ports and the 8 mm hard-chrome rod goes to work. Double-acting movement with a variable air cushion at both ends lets this 20 mm bore run 30-800 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air, delivering 157 N of push and 132 N of pull at 0.5 MPa.
The riveted stainless barrel shrugs off washdown splash and damp workshop air that swells painted mini cylinders, and the standard-fit magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches out of the box. Treat 157 N as the ceiling, not the target: plan jobs around 94 N at 0.5 MPa, or about 8 kg of vertical lift once you double the safety 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.
| 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.

| ×160 | 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.
Face-bolt the U cover to the station plate and clinch spring clips onto brackets; 220 N at 0.7 MPa gives headroom for stiff clips.
Tuck leading flaps on small cartons as they pass a sealer - the 160 mm stroke reaches across the flap and the cushion quiets each hit.
Slide an inspection camera into position between shots; the built-in magnet drives a DMSG switch for in-position confirmation.
A 16 mm bore tops out near 100 N push at 0.5 MPa, so step up if you need the MAC20X160SU's 157 N; a 25 mm bore gives 245 N when the load grows again. Centre or exhaust the valve and the rod simply coasts - nothing holds it - so spec a rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. The U flat-end cover suits face-bolted fixtures; add an FA flange or SDB pivot bracket if your mounting geometry changes.
Quick checklist
Push is 157 N and pull 132 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa that becomes 220 N push and 185 N pull, with a 32 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s, uses 1/8" ports, and the 8 mm rod carries an M8x1.25 male thread.
The barrel is stainless steel rolled over the covers in a riveted pack, with a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod - a combination that resists washdown splash and humid air far better than painted mini cylinders.
