Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID20X60
The AirTAC Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID20X60 is a genuine double acting, double rod round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm 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 MID20X60
Delivering 131.9 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions, this AirTAC round-body mini cylinder uses a through-rod design so extend and retract forces stay identical. The twin rod resists rotation and side loads, keeping guided pushes steady without needing an external guide. Its stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Because a rod exits both end covers, the rear side is free to trip a switch or carry a stop. This bore uses an ISO 6432 mounting interface and a 1/8" port. For sizing, it yields a safe working load of roughly 79 N, or a vertical lift of about 6.7 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 132 N |

Where the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID20X60 Is Used
Symmetric Shuttle Transfer
Drives a lightweight parts shuttle back and forth with 131.9 N of equal force each way, ensuring consistent dwell times at both ends of the 60 mm stroke.
Guided Push Operation
Pushes a small fixture on a linear slide where the twin rod prevents rotation, handling a safe working load of roughly 79 N without binding.
Mechanical Flag Trigger
Uses the exposed rear rod end to physically trip an external mechanical limit switch, ideal when magnetic sensors are absent on the main body.
Is the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID20X60 the Right Cylinder?
If 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa is too much, step down to the MID16X50 which provides 86.4 N; if you need more push, the MID25X75S offers 206.1 N. The through-rod shines in light jobs needing anti-rotation stability or a back-rod flag to trip a switch. For mounting, choose LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (the SDB pivot-block is unavailable here). Add the -S option if you need position sensing.
Remember that fixed TPU bumper pads only soften the stroke end; they do not lock the piston. If air pressure drops, the cylinder drifts. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load safely.
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 MID20X60 FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force both ways: 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 184.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 26.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" port.
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. The stainless build resists mild corrosion.
