About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X70SCA
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact automation tasks with reliability. The riveted barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp environments. Equipped with a 1/8" port and a 70 mm stroke, it integrates seamlessly into existing setups.
This model includes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Plan for a safe working load of about 60 N rather than the absolute maximum. The fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end without adjustable cushioning, and the CA rear pivot cover supports clevis mounting.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X70SCA Is Used
Package Diverter
Pushes light cardboard cartons on a packaging line using its 70 mm stroke and 100.5 N push force.
Textile Loom Guide
Shifts a yarn guide arm precisely in humid textile facilities where the stainless build prevents rust.
Small Part Ejector
Ejects plastic moulded parts from a press, relying on the fixed TPU bumpers to soften the impact.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X70SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, compare it against the 12 mm bore (56.5 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter tasks, or step up to the 20 mm bore (157.0 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need more power. The 70 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, keeping rod bending stress low. Because this is a double-acting cylinder, the piston will drift if air pressure is lost; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for strict load holding. The CA back cover provides a pivot point, and the included magnet enables position sensing.
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 MI16X70SCA 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".
No, the piston drifts on air loss; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end, so use a pilot check valve for holding. It uses a CA pivot/clevis back cover and includes a magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
