Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCM 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 MI16X200SCM
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles 200 mm strokes with a 1/8 inch port. The riveted round body uses a stainless barrel and rod to resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes, while the built-in magnet (-S) enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
Because the 100.5 N rating is theoretical, plan for a safe working load of about 60 N at 0.5 MPa. This translates to lifting roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, helping you match the actuator to real part weights. The rear CM round end cover keeps the footprint compact, and the Ø16 bore uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket integration.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCM Is Used
Package Diverter
Pushes lightweight cardboard cartons on a packaging line using a safe 60 N working load at 0.5 MPa.
Lab Sample Ejector
Ejects plastic test tubes from a carousel with the stainless body resisting daily chemical wipe-downs.
Small Parts Sorter
Actuates a gating flap to separate aluminium fittings, using the 200 mm stroke to clear the chute.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this bore, stepping down to a Ø12 MI drops the push force to 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to a Ø20 increases it to 157.0 N. The 200 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, but at this length you should watch for side loads to prevent rod bending. This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing and a CM round end cover; you can also use LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion mounts. Keep in mind the piston drifts if air is lost or the valve is centred, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a load securely.
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 MI16X200SCM FAQ
This Ø16 bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch 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 of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake; the piston will drift if air is lost, so use a pilot check valve for holding. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position detection.
