Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75R
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75R is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 75mm 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 MI16X75R
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles 75 mm of travel with a compact riveted build. The Ø16 bore uses a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted steel in damp or washdown environments. The R back cover features an axial-in port orientation for tight inline plumbing.
Because fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than acting as an adjustable cushion, you should plan for a safe working load of about 60 N at 0.5 MPa. This equates to lifting roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, letting you match real part weights accurately. Without the -S magnet option, this specific SKU cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75R Is Used
Package Diverting Gate
Pushes lightweight cardboard cartons on a packaging line using its 100.5 N push force, with the stainless body surviving humid packing rooms.
Small Parts Ejector
Ejects machined plastic components from a fixture over 75 mm of travel, relying on the fixed TPU bumpers to quietly absorb the stroke end impact.
Lab Sample Handler
Moves sample trays in a diagnostic analyzer where the 1/8" port and compact riveted round body fit neatly into tight lab automation frames.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75R the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 75 mm stroke unit, the smaller Ø12 bore generates 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø20 bore provides 157.0 N, giving you clear scaling steps if your payload shifts. The Ø16 bore adheres to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, so it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets, FA flanges, LB foot mounts, TC trunnions and SDB pivot blocks. If your mechanism needs position feedback, select the -S magnet version instead, as this base model lacks sensor compatibility.
Remember that venting the air or centering the valve causes the piston to drift, as the TPU bumpers only soften end impacts and do not function as a braking lock. To suspend a load safely mid-stroke, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. For a 75 mm extension, ensure your end tooling is aligned to prevent side-loading and rod bending.
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 MI16X75R FAQ
This Ø16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable air cushion, and the R back cover provides an axial-in port for inline mounting.
