About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X25SCATC
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact automation with ease. The 16 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and a 6 mm piston rod, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke ends. Its round-body, riveted construction shrugs off mild corrosion, making it highly suitable for damp or washdown environments where painted alternatives fail.
Equipped with a built-in magnet, the unit supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position detection. The ISO 6432 mounting interface ensures it drops straight into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Plan for roughly 60 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, or expect it to lift about 5.1 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X25SCATC Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Uses the 100.5 N push force to knock lightweight plastic mouldings off an injection press conveyor without damaging the part surface.
Pallet Diverter
Swings a guide rail via the CA clevis to redirect small packaging pallets on a high-speed sorting line.
Clamp Actuator
Secures thin aluminium brackets during a light machining operation, utilising the 25 mm stroke for rapid cycling.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X25SCATC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, the 16 mm bore sits right between the 12 mm option (56.5 N push @0.5 MPa) and the 20 mm option (157.0 N push @0.5 MPa), giving you a balanced footprint for mid-range tasks. This specific SKU includes a CA pivot clevis back cover and a TC trunnion mounting accessory, providing excellent load balancing on short 25 mm strokes. Because the magnet is present, you can directly mount CMSG or DMSG switches.
Remember that the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the end of travel; they do not function as a brake. If your application must prevent drift on air loss or when a valve is centred, you will need an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to hold the 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 MI16X25SCATC 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. The air port size is 1/8".
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. The included TC trunnion mounts along the cylinder body, while the CA back cover provides a rear pivot clevis for articulated movement.
