Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200R
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200R 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 MI16X200R
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 200 mm travel range with a 1/8" port. The riveted construction uses a stainless barrel and rod to resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp production areas. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises for straightforward design integration.
The fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact at the stroke ends without offering adjustable cushioning. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 60 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200R Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Pushes light cardboard cartons on a packaging line using its 100.5 N thrust, while the stainless build withstands occasional washdown.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Cycles rapidly across the 200 mm stroke to position yarn guides, relying on the fixed TPU bumpers to soften the repetitive end impacts.
Bin Lid Actuator
Lifts a roughly 5 kg hopper lid vertically, matching the calculated safe working load limit of the cylinder at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200R the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: a 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 20 mm bore provides 157.0 N. This model features the R back cover, meaning the air supply connects axially at the rear, which helps when side-port clearance is tight. You can mount it using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion hardware.
A standard 200 mm stroke on a 6 mm rod requires attention to side loading; ensure the load is guided to prevent rod bending. Remember that venting the air or centering the valve causes the piston to drift, as the TPU bumpers only decelerate the end of travel rather than locking the position. To suspend a load safely, fit 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 MI16X200R FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. 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 sensing. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface and fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable air cushion.
