Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X175SCASDB
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X175SCASDB is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 175mm 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.

About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X175SCASDB
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 175 mm stroke with a 1/8" port. The riveted barrel and Ø6 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes without needing manual adjustment.
Because it carries an internal magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing. Plan for about 60 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The Ø16 bore uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder clevises and brackets.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X175SCASDB Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Swings lightweight sorting flaps on packaging lines using its 175 mm travel and 100.5 N thrust, with the SDB pivot block absorbing lateral shaft stress.
Lab Sample Ejection
Pushes prepared specimens out of a damp testing chamber, where the stainless construction prevents mild corrosion from affecting cycle reliability.
Bin Lid Actuation
Lifts access hatches on small ingredient bins, easily managing the 5.1 kg vertical load capacity while fitting into tight cabinet spaces.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X175SCASDB the Right Cylinder?
If you need less push, the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø20 bore provides 157.0 N. This 175 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum for the Ø16 bore, but at this length you should watch for side loads that could bend the Ø6 mm rod. The CA rear pivot cover pairs perfectly with the included SDB pivot block for angular alignment.
Remember that venting the air causes the piston to drift, as the TPU pads only decelerate the end of travel and act as neither a lock nor a brake. To suspend a load safely during a pressure drop, install an external rod lock or a 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.
Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X175SCASDB FAQ
This Ø16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and generates 100.5 N push / 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 140.7 N push / 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes to sensors: the internal magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. No to adjustable cushions: it relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end. For adjustable air cushioning, look at the MIC variant.
