The AirTAC Airtac MG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MG20X800S is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 800mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
With a slim 20 mm bore and a long 800 mm reach, this MG model is a double acting JIS round-body mini cylinder built on a SUS304 stainless barrel riveted to its covers, with a hard-chrome plated 8 mm rod. Because the barrel is stainless rather than painted steel, it shrugs off washdown mist, condensation and outdoor damp that swell or rust conventional aluminium minis. The 800 mm stroke sits beyond the 500 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a made-to-order length.
At 0.5 MPa the bore delivers about 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull, rising to 219.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. In practice, budget roughly 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, enough for light gates, sensors carriages and small parts. The fixed anti-impact bumper pads soften the stroke ends; they decelerate only and are not an adjustable cushion. The built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for end-position signalling.

The 800 mm stroke sweeps a 2 to 5 kg rejected carton or blister tray off a packaging conveyor in one motion, with the magnet and a CMSG switch confirming full extension.
About 8 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin raises a small inspection gate or machine guard lid on a bottling line, with bumper pads easing the top-of-stroke stop.
The SUS304 stainless barrel tolerates humidity and splash in a washdown-prone food or laboratory station, extending a sampling probe 800 mm into a test position.
This is the lightest MG bore, so check neighbours before committing: the 25 mm size pushes about 245 N at 0.5 MPa and the 32 mm about 402 N, while there is no smaller MG below 20 mm. If your load needs more than roughly 90 N of usable force, step up a bore. The 800 mm stroke is non-standard and made to order, and at this length keep side loads off the 8 mm rod and guide the load externally to avoid rod bending. Mount with LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis or SDB pivot, and remember the cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a pilot check valve or external lock for held loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.8 N and pulls 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa = 22-145 psi with a 1.5 MPa = 215 psi proof pressure, and speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
Standard MG bore-20 strokes stop at 500 mm, so 800 mm is a made-to-order length. The S in the model code means a magnet is built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches can be clamped on the barrel for end-of-stroke detection.
