Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SCATC
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SCATC 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 MI16X75SCATC
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 75 mm stroke with a 1/8 inch port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel or aluminium minis in damp, food, or outdoor spots. Riveted and rolled into a compact body, it relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion. The built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing.
Because the theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa, plan for roughly 60 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. That translates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, letting you match real part weights accurately. The ISO 6432 mounting interface drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises, making it a spares and design win.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SCATC Is Used
Diverter Gate Actuation
Pushes light packaging routing flaps on stainless washdown conveyors, using the 100.5 N output to snap gates cleanly without stalling.
Small Parts Ejection
Ejects stamped metal or plastic components from a die, leveraging the 75 mm stroke and fixed TPU bumpers to absorb end-of-travel impact.
Lab Sample Handling
Indexes test tube racks in damp laboratory environments where the stainless rod resists mild corrosion and the CMSG sensor confirms positioning.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SCATC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down to an MI12 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 56.5 N, while moving up to an MI20 raises it to 157.0 N. This model features a CA pivot clevis back cover and a TC trunnion mounting accessory for versatile articulation. The included -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic sensors. A plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss or valve centring, as the piston drifts and the bumper only decelerates near the stroke end; for a held load, specify an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. At a 75 mm stroke, keep side-load alignment tight to avoid rod bending and premature seal wear.
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 MI16X75SCATC FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch 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 of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston drifts if air is lost or the valve is centred, as the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and act as neither a lock nor a brake. To maintain a vertical position, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
