The AirTAC Airtac B52-MI Copper-Free Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder B52-MI16X200SCA is a genuine double acting 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.
This 16 mm round-body cylinder delivers 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, with a 200 mm stroke. The B52- prefix marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the MI16X200SCA, designed for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems and some battery, electronics, and chemical plants.
The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, making it a practical choice in damp or food-adjacent spots. It uses the ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interface, so it drops into standard mini brackets and clevises. The fixed TPU bumper pads soften stroke-end impact; for real work, plan for about 60 N of load at 0.5 MPa, which gives a safe margin over the full rating.

| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | 121 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 21 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Use the 100.5 N push to eject stamped washers from a die in a punch press, clearing the tool area each cycle.
In an ammonia refrigeration line, the copper-free build suits the environment, actuating a small divert valve with the 86.4 N pull force.
Drive a label applicator head onto passing cartons in a packaging line, using the 200 mm stroke to reach across the conveyor.
For a lighter application, the 12 mm MI gives 56.5 N push, while this 16 mm unit offers 100.5 N; stepping up to 20 mm provides 157 N. The 1/8" port suits typical mini-valve connections. The CA back cover provides a rear pivot/clevis for mounting. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing. For a held load on air loss, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve-the bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 100.5 N and pull is 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 140.7 N and pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
B52- is AirTAC's copper-free build, for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted. The exact material substitutions should be confirmed with us. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
