About the AirTAC MAC16
The AirTAC MAC16 is a double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder with adjustable cushions with a 16 mm bore and a 6 mm piston rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 101 N and pulls 86 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 141 N push and 121 N pull. Force depends on bore and pressure only, so every stroke on this page gives the same output.
All MAC16 versions share M5×0.8 air ports, an M6×1.0 rod thread and adjustable air cushions at both ends. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa), from -20 to +70 °C, at 30 to 800 mm/s. This page lists 69 stock order codes with strokes from 10 to 500 mm; the catalog maximum stroke is 500 mm.

Theoretical output force (Ø16 mm)
| Pressure | Push | Pull |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 86 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | 121 N |
Push = pressure × bore area; pull subtracts the Ø6 mm rod area. Usable force is lower because of friction and back-pressure.

Where the MAC16 Is Used
Small pushers and stoppers
About 101 N at 0.5 MPa suits light pushers, stoppers, gates and ejectors.
Packaging and assembly
Compact strokes for feeders, diverters and assembly stations.
Sensed positioning
Magnet versions report stroke ends to the PLC through cylinder sensors.
Choosing the Right MAC16 Configuration
Start with the stroke. Pick the exact travel your machine needs; a longer stroke adds length, weight and air consumption without adding force. If your length is not listed, request a quote and we will confirm whether it can be built.
Then choose the back cover and mounting. The back cover sets how the rear of the cylinder is fixed or where its air enters (CA clevis-end cover, CM round-end cover, U flat-end cover). A clevis-end cover with an SDB pivot bracket lets the cylinder swing; flat or round covers with an FA flange or LB foot hold it rigid.
Finally pick the version: S adds a magnet for position sensors.
AirTAC MAC16 FAQ
No. Every MAC16 gives about 101 N push and 86 N pull at 0.5 MPa, whatever the stroke.
M5×0.8 ports.
Back covers: CA clevis-end cover, CM round-end cover, U flat-end cover. Pick a pivoting cover or bracket when the load moves in an arc, a rigid one for straight-line loads.
Usually yes. Request a quote with the stroke, mounting and version and we will confirm whether it can be built, plus price and lead time.
0.15 to 1.0 MPa operating pressure (proof 1.5 MPa) and -20 to +70 °C on filtered air.
No. You can order a single MAC16. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
