Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID16X200S
The AirTAC Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID16X200S is a genuine double acting, double rod round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 200mm 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 MID16X200S
Delivering 86.4 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder uses a through-rod design so extend and retract forces stay identical. The Ø6 mm rod exits both end covers to resist rotation and side load, giving steadier guiding without an external guide for light jobs. It includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing.
Built to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops into standard mini brackets and clevises. The stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown. With a 1/8" port and a 200 mm stroke, it yields a safe working load of about 52 N, or roughly 4.4 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the stroke ends.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 86 N |

Where the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID16X200S Is Used
Symmetric Shuttle Transfer
Pushes a small workpiece carrier 200 mm each way with 86.4 N, using the equal both-ways force to maintain a consistent symmetric shuttle motion.
Back-Rod Switch Trip
Uses the exposed rear rod end to physically trigger an external limit switch, while the front end executes the 52 N working stroke.
Guided Push Assembly
The twin rod resists rotation during a downward assembly press, keeping the tooling steady without needing an external guide rail.
Is the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID16X200S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duties the Ø12 MID bore provides 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø20 bore raises that to 131.9 N. This Ø16 model hits a solid middle ground. The twin-rod architecture is ideal when you need anti-rotation stability, want to trip a switch from the back rod end, or drive a second load simultaneously.
Because air pressure alone cannot hold the load if air is lost, the piston will drift; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for secure holding. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (the SDB pivot block is unavailable here). The -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors.
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 MID16X200S FAQ
It delivers equal force in both directions because the rod exits both ends: 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 17.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" port.
The twin rod resists rotation and side loads, and the rear rod end can drive a second load or trip a switch. It includes a magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. It cannot hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock for that.
