Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID20X60S
The AirTAC Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID20X60S 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 MID20X60S
Delivering 131.9 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions, the AirTAC MID20X60S is a double-acting, through-rod mini cylinder. Because a rod exits both end covers, the extend and retract areas are identical, yielding equal force while resisting rotation and side loads without needing an external guide. The rear rod end is free to trip a switch or carry a stop. Its stainless steel round barrel and rod withstand mild washdowns, and it uses the standard ISO 6432 mounting interface.
This 20 mm bore unit features a 60 mm stroke, an 8 mm rod with an M8x1.25 male thread, and a 1/8" port. It operates at 30-800 mm/s. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. For sizing, expect a safe working load around 79 N, or a vertical lift of about 6.7 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID20X60S Is Used
Symmetric Shuttle
With 131.9 N of equal force both ways, this cylinder drives a lightweight shuttle or indexing carriage back and forth smoothly without favoring one direction.
Cam Switch Trip
The extended rear rod provides a convenient surface to physically trigger a limit switch or flag at 60 mm stroke, independent of the front tooling.
Guided Push Operation
The twin 8 mm rod resists torsional rotation during a clamping or pressing task, keeping the tool steady under a 79 N safe working load.
Is the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID20X60S the Right Cylinder?
If you need less push, the MID16 bore provides 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa; for heavier duties, the MID25 offers 206.1 N. Choose this double-rod design when you need steady guided pushes, a back-rod stop, or symmetric shuttling. It mounts via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (the SDB pivot block is unavailable). Note that the fixed TPU bumpers only soften stroke ends; the piston drifts on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
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 MID20X60S FAQ
It delivers equal force in both directions because of the through-rod design: 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 184.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical output of 26.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to attach CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches directly to the stainless steel barrel.
