Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCMLB
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCMLB 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 MI16X200SCMLB
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 ease. The 16 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and a 6 mm rod. Its stainless barrel and rod 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 rear cover keeps the footprint compact.
With a 100.5 N output, plan for roughly 60 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to ensure smooth cycling. That same push force translates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing, and the ISO 6432 mounting dimensions let it drop straight into standard mini-cylinder brackets.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCMLB Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Shifts lightweight cardboard cartons on a packaging line using the 60 N safe working capacity, with the LB foot mount holding firm against lateral shifting.
Lab Sample Ejection
Ejects plastic sample tubes from a testing carousel; the stainless construction tolerates occasional chemical splashes and wipe-downs.
Small Parts Sorting
Pushes selected aluminium brackets into collection chutes, using the CMSG sensor to confirm the full 200 mm extension before the next cycle.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SCMLB the Right Cylinder?
This 16 mm bore sits neatly between the lighter MI12 (56.5 N push) and the stronger MI20 (157.0 N push) at 0.5 MPa. If your task needs less than 50 N, step down; if you exceed 60 N of real work, step up to the 20 mm. The included LB foot bracket secures the body for rigid mounting. Because this is a 200 mm stroke, mind the side-load on the 6 mm rod to prevent premature seal wear and rod bending.
Air pressure extends and retracts the rod, but a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centres. The TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and will not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely during an air failure, 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 MI16X200SCMLB 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.
No, the base MI uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, not an adjustable air cushion (see the MIC variant for that). It also will not hold a load if air is lost; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding.
