About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCATC
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 ease. The Ø16 bore uses a 1/8" port and a 6 mm piston rod with an M6x1.0 male thread. Because the barrel and rod are stainless steel, the riveted construction naturally resists mild corrosion, making it a durable choice over painted alternatives in damp or washdown-prone environments.
The built-in magnet allows you to track position with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 60 N, which equates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The ISO 6432 mounting interface ensures it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCATC Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line, using the 100.5 N thrust to push standard cardboard cartons onto a secondary belt.
Lab Sample Ejector
Ejects processed specimen trays from a testing carousel, where the stainless barrel withstands frequent alcohol wipe-downs and mild moisture.
Light Press Fixture
Provides a 200 mm downward stroke to clamp light foam or plastic components into a fixture base before a secondary bonding process.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCATC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down to a 12 mm bore drops the push force to 56.5 N, whereas moving up to a 20 mm bore increases it to 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa. This model pairs a CA pivot clevis back cover with a TC trunnion mounting accessory, giving you flexible pivot options. The 200 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke, but at this length you should carefully manage side loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Remember that air pressure alone does not secure the load; if the valve is centred or air is lost, the piston will drift. The TPU bumpers only decelerate the end-of-stroke impact and act as neither a lock nor a brake. To hold a load safely in place, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your 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 MI16X200SCATC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 100.5 N and the pull force is 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa, it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The CA back cover provides a rear pivot clevis, and the TC accessory provides a trunnion mount, allowing flexible pivoting. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard bracket compatibility.
