About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SUTC
Generating 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 a 1/8" air port. The rolled stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp production areas. It conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact at the stroke ends without offering adjustable cushioning. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 60 N at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SUTC Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line, using the 100.5 N thrust to push cardboard cartons into secondary lanes without stalling.
Lab Sample Ejector
Ejects filled test tube racks from a dispensing station, where the stainless build withstands daily chemical wipe-downs and ambient humidity.
Bin Lid Lifter
Raises lightweight access hatches on material bins, comfortably lifting the 5.1 kg lid mass within the calculated vertical lift margin.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200SUTC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, the smaller Ø12 generates 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø20 provides 157.0 N, giving you clear scaling if your payload shifts. This configuration includes a U-type 90-degree rear cover and a TC trunnion mount for pivoting articulation. The 200 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, though at full extension you should minimize side loading to prevent rod bending.
Because the standard bumper pads only decelerate the piston and do not act as a brake, the rod will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. To suspend a load safely during an emergency stop, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic 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 MI16X200SUTC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the air port size is 1/8".
Yes to sensors: the -S suffix means it has a piston magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. No to adjustable cushions: this base MI model uses fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration. For adjustable air cushioning, you need the MIC variant.
