About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SCA
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact automation with ease. The riveted construction pairs a corrosion-resistant barrel and rod, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Its 1/8" port and M6x1.0 male rod thread keep airflow and mounting straightforward.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. Plan for roughly 60 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to safely lifting about 5.1 kg vertically. The CA rear pivot cover allows clevis mounting, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impacts.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SCA Is Used
Pivot-Driven Component Ejection
Leverages the CA clevis rear cover to swing and eject 5 kg machined aluminum parts from a CNC enclosure, utilizing the 100.5 N push force to clear the workspace reliably.
Damp-Environment Flap Folding
The stainless steel barrel withstands routine washdowns in a vegetable packing line, actuating a 75 mm stroke to fold carton flaps where mild corrosion resistance is essential.
Palletizer Sensor Tracking
Uses the internal -S magnet with DMSG switches to confirm a 75 mm extension when diverting small cardboard boxes, ensuring the CMSG sensor flags the precise transfer position.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SCA the Right Cylinder?
If 100.5 N is excessive for your fixture, the smaller Ø12 bore provides 56.5 N; conversely, stepping up to the Ø20 bore yields 157.0 N. Because this is a double-acting cylinder, the piston will drift if air pressure drops or the valve centers, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to suspend loads safely. The CA back cover suits pivot articulation, and the integrated magnet enables electronic or reed sensors.
With a 75 mm stroke, keep side-loads minimal to prevent rod bending. The Ø6 mm piston rod operates at 30-800 mm/s. Note that fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the stroke end but do not offer adjustable cushioning; for high-speed energy absorption, consider the MIC variant.
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 MI16X75SCA FAQ
This 16 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, increasing to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. To suspend a load safely, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
