Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCA 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 MI16X200SCA
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact automation with ease. The 16 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and a Ø6 mm piston rod, while the riveted round-body construction shrinks the footprint and resists mild corrosion better than painted alternatives. Because it includes a piston magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches directly for position sensing.
At 0.5 MPa it generates roughly 10.2 kgf of thrust, meaning you can plan to lift about 5.1 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. The 200 mm stroke operates within the 500 mm maximum for this bore, and fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end. The rear CA clevis allows pivoting mount integration.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCA Is Used
Package Diverter Arm
Swings lightweight cardboard cartons on a packaging line using the CA pivot mount, relying on the 100.5 N push force to swing the gate reliably.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Maintains consistent yarn tension in humid textile facilities where the stainless-steel barrel and rod prevent mild corrosion from affecting movement.
Small Component Ejector
Pushes molded plastic parts out of a machining area over a 200 mm travel distance, using position switches to trigger the next machine cycle.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less push, the Ø12 bore provides 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø20 bore yields 157.0 N for heavier mechanisms. This SKU features the built-in magnet for sensors and a CA rear pivot cover, so ensure your bracket matches that clevis style. For this 200 mm stroke, minimize side-loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Remember that venting the air or centering the valve causes the piston to drift, as the TPU pads only soften the end-of-stroke impact without locking the rod. To suspend a load securely during an air loss event, 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 MI16X200SCA FAQ
This 16 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, the Ø16 bore adheres to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, allowing it to drop into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Because this model includes the -S magnet, it is fully compatible with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches.
