The AirTAC Airtac MI Mini Cylinders MI16X450SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 450mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface fits standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interfaces.
The MI16X450SCA is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder in stainless steel: barrel and 6 mm rod are riveted into the rolled body, giving mild washdown and corrosion resistance that painted or aluminium minis lose quickly in damp spots.
The 450 mm stroke sits inside the 500 mm standard range for this bore, and the CA pivot/clevis back cover lets the rod follow slightly non-straight load paths. The M5×0.8 port is fixed by the bore size, the built-in -S piston magnet drives CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, and the mounting interface follows ISO 6432 dimensions so standard 16 mini brackets and clevises drop straight in.

| 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 (double rod, adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
450 mm of reach sweeps off-track bottles aside; about 60 N of working force at 0.5 MPa moves a light gate arm easily, and the stainless barrel stands up to repeated washdown.
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa seats snap-fit plastic lids, while the -S magnet feeds CMSG or EMSG switches for end-of-stroke confirmation on every cycle.
Size both ways before committing: the next bore down, MI12, delivers 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the MI20 next up reaches 157.0 N - pick this 16 when the task needs about 60 N of dependable work at 0.5 MPa. Be aware the cylinder will not hold position when air is lost or the valve centres: the piston drifts, and the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end, they are not a brake. For a load that must stay put, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Mount with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot block or TC trunnion; the CA rear cover on this unit is the pivot/clevis style. At 450 mm of stroke, keep side loads off the 6 rod and guide the payload externally - or step to the MIJ variant if the stroke needs to be adjustable.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa and speed 30-800 mm/s.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown far better than painted minis in damp or food-area spots. Bore 16 follows the ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, so standard 16 mini brackets and clevises fit without redesign. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, air connects via an M5×0.8 port, and the male rod thread is M6x1.0.
