About the Airtac B52-MI Copper-Free Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder B52-MI16X50SCM
This 16mm bore round-body cylinder delivers 100.5N of push force at 0.5MPa, making it a compact powerhouse for light automation tasks. The B52- prefix marks AirTAC's copper-free construction, designed for environments where copper alloys are prohibited, such as ammonia handling or certain electronics production lines.
The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown exposure, a genuine advantage over painted aluminium minis in damp workshops. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface means it drops into standard mini-cylinder brackets without custom adapters. With a 50mm stroke and fixed TPU bumper pads softening the stroke end, it suits high-cycle applications up to 800mm/s. The built-in magnet (-S) enables CMSG or DMSG sensor feedback for automated sequencing.

Where the Airtac B52-MI Copper-Free Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder B52-MI16X50SCM Is Used
Electronics Assembly Stops
Use the 50mm stroke to position PCB guide rails or stop pins in soldering stations. The copper-free build prevents contamination risks in sensitive electronic assembly areas.
Ammonia Test Rigs
The copper-free B52- construction suits small ammonia detection or sampling mechanisms where copper alloys would corrode or contaminate the process media.
Light Packaging Ejectors
Eject blister packs or push cartons off a conveyor in pharmaceutical packaging lines. The 100.5N push force handles items up to 5kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Is the Airtac B52-MI Copper-Free Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder B52-MI16X50SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, consider the 12mm bore MI12X50 if you need less force (56.5N push at 0.5MPa), or step up to the 20mm bore MI20X50 for 157N push at 0.5MPa. The 1/8" port matches standard mini-cylinder fittings. Remember this cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost, so for vertical lifting or load holding, pair it with an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The CM round end cover provides a clean rear profile, and you can add LB foot mounts or FA flanges for installation flexibility.
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.
