Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID16X175S
The AirTAC Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID16X175S is a genuine double acting, double rod round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.

About the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID16X175S
Delivering 86.4 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions, the AirTAC MID16X175S is a 16 mm bore, double-acting through-rod mini cylinder. Because a Ø6 mm piston rod exits both end covers, the extend and retract areas are identical, yielding equal force while naturally resisting rotation and side loads. The 175 mm stroke drops neatly into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interfaces. Its stainless-steel round barrel and dual rods offer mild corrosion resistance for washdown or humid settings.
Air enters via the 1/8" port to drive the piston at 30-800 mm/s, with fixed TPU bumpers decelerating the stroke ends. The built-in magnet (denoted by -S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. For a practical guideline, this bore yields a safe working load of roughly 52 N, letting you vertically lift about 4.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that the bumper only softens the end of stroke; it will not hold a load if air pressure drops.

Where the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID16X175S Is Used
Symmetric Shuttle Transfer
Pushes a 3 kg jig back and forth with equal 86.4 N force on both strokes, using the twin rod to prevent twisting during the transfer.
Rear-Rod Switch Trip
Uses the extended back rod end to physically trigger an external limit switch, saving space while the front rod handles the primary 4.4 kg lift.
Guided Pin Insertion
Steadily presses lightweight pins into a housing without an external guide, relying on the through-rod to resist side-load deflection.
Is the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID16X175S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 86.4 N @0.5 MPa bore, stepping down to the MID12X175S provides 42.4 N, while stepping up to the MID20X175S offers 131.9 N. Choose this double-rod configuration when your mechanism requires anti-rotation stability, needs the rear rod end to trip a switch or carry a stop, or must drive two loads simultaneously. If the application must hold position during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve, as the piston will drift.
For mounting, you can use LB foot brackets, FA flanges, or TC trunnions alongside CA, U, R or CM back covers, but the SDB pivot block is not compatible with this double-rod variant. The included -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensor switches for precise tracking.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID16X175S FAQ
It delivers equal force in both directions because the rod occupies each side: 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical output of 17.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The twin rod resists rotation and allows the rear rod end to drive a second load or trip a switch. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors, and the stainless build handles mild washdowns.
