About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200ULB
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 riveted construction and 1/8" port provide a compact, lightweight solution that resists mild corrosion in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes, decelerating the piston smoothly without the complexity of adjustable cushioning.
Because it lacks the -S suffix, this specific SKU cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic sensors. For sizing your real-world components, plan for a safe working load of about 60 N, which equates to lifting roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The included LB foot bracket combined with the U 90-degree rear cover offers versatile mounting orientations for your machinery.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200ULB Is Used
Package Diverting Gate
Actuates a lightweight routing flap on a packaging conveyor, using the 100.5 N push force to redirect small cartons at high speed.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Maintains consistent thread tension in a humid textile facility, leveraging the stainless-steel barrel to resist moisture corrosion.
Bin Lid Automation
Opens and closes access hatches on material bins, where the 200 mm stroke and LB foot mount provide reliable vertical clearance.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X200ULB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, note that stepping down to an Ø12 bore drops the push force to 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to a Ø20 bore increases it to 157.0 N. The 200 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, though at extended lengths you should carefully manage side loading to prevent rod bending. The LB foot mount and U back cover supply stable positioning for these longer strokes.
Remember that venting the air supply or centering the control valve will cause the piston to drift, as the TPU bumpers only soften the end of travel rather than locking the rod. To suspend a load safely during an air loss event, 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 MI16X200ULB FAQ
This Ø16 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, because this model lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot support CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant to enable position sensing.
