Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200CMLB
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200CMLB 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 MI16X200CMLB
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles 200 mm strokes with a 1/8" port and M6x1.0 male rod thread. The stainless barrel and rod naturally resist 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, while the CM round end and LB foot bracket supply solid mechanical mounting.
Because it uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, this Ø16 unit drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Plan for roughly 60 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200CMLB Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line, using the 100.5 N push force to redirect small cartons at 0.5 MPa without corrosion risk in humid packing areas.
Lab Sample Ejector
Pushes prepared test tubes out of a carousel with a 200 mm travel distance, relying on the stainless build to withstand chemical exposure and frequent wipe-downs.
Textile Yarn Guide
Shifts a thread guide across a weaving machine, where the LB foot mount secures the body and the TPU bumpers quietly absorb the 200 mm stroke impact.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200CMLB the Right Cylinder?
If you need slightly less force, the Ø12 bore provides 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø20 bore yields 157.0 N. This 200 mm stroke sits well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for the Ø16 bore, though at this extension you should watch for side-loading and rod-bending forces to prevent premature seal wear. The LB foot mount and CM round end cover give you a stable base for rigid anchoring.
Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the end of stroke rather than locking the load. To suspend a vertical weight safely, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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 MI16X200CMLB FAQ
This Ø16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port. 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, because this model lacks the -S suffix it has no internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing, though this version still uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard brackets.
