Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200CM
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200CM 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.

About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200CM
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 200 mm stroke with a 1/8" port. The riveted barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp production areas. Its dimensions follow the ISO 6432 mounting interface, so it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at both stroke ends, decelerating the motion without the complexity of adjustable cushioning. Plan for about 60 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200CM Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Pushes light cardboard cartons on a packaging line using 100.5 N of thrust, with the stainless build surviving humid washdown environments.
Small Parts Ejector
Kicks stamped metal components out of a press die over a 200 mm travel distance, relying on fixed TPU pads to absorb the end-of-stroke impact.
Lab Sample Handler
Moves plastic sample trays between testing stations, where the smooth CM round end cover and compact ISO 6432 footprint fit tight lab enclosures.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, the smaller 12 mm option yields 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 20 mm bore provides 157.0 N, helping you bracket your exact force needs. The CM round end back cover keeps the rear profile smooth for compact assemblies. Since this is a double-acting actuator, air drives the rod in both directions. Note that venting the air or centering the valve causes the piston to drift; the bumpers only soften the end stops and will not act as a brake. For suspended loads, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Pushing a 200 mm stroke on a 6 mm rod invites bending if the load is misaligned, so guide the mechanism carefully to prevent side-loading.
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 MI16X200CM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and a 6 mm piston rod. It generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. The unit uses fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.
