About the Airtac B52-MI Copper-Free Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder B52-MI16X175SCM
This 16 mm bore round-body mini cylinder delivers a solid 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, making it a dependable choice for light automation tasks. The B52- prefix marks AirTAC's copper-free build, meaning copper and copper alloys are excluded for lines where they are not permitted, such as ammonia systems or certain battery and electronics plants.
The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown exposure better than painted steel or aluminium minis. Since it uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises without custom adapters. The 1/8" port keeps installation straightforward, while the fixed TPU bumper pads soften the stroke end impact.

Where the Airtac B52-MI Copper-Free Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder B52-MI16X175SCM Is Used
Small Parts Ejection
Use the 100.5 N push to eject small plastic components from a die-cast or injection moulding machine. The stainless build resists coolant splashes, and the 175 mm stroke clears the part from the mould area.
Ammonia System Valve Actuation
In ammonia-based refrigeration or chemical processing lines, the copper-free B52- build prevents corrosion from ammonia exposure. Actuate a small 2-way valve with the 86.4 N pull force at 0.5 MPa.
Carton Flap Folding
Fold carton flaps on a packaging line with the 100.5 N push. The ISO 6432 interface mounts into standard brackets, and the 175 mm stroke provides enough travel to fold larger flaps without binding.
Is the Airtac B52-MI Copper-Free Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder B52-MI16X175SCM the Right Cylinder?
At 100.5 N push, this cylinder suits light pushing, lifting, or clamping tasks. If you need more force, step up to the 20 mm bore MI20X175, which provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa. For lighter duty, the 12 mm bore MI12X175 offers 56.5 N push. The built-in magnet (-S) enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing. The CM round end back cover provides a clean rear mounting point. Remember, this cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred-the piston drifts. For holding, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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.
