Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SCM 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 MI16X75SCM
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 Ø6 mm piston rod. The riveted barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Its 1/8" port feeds air to extend and retract the rod at 30-800 mm/s, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke ends.
Plan for roughly 60 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing, and the CM round rear cover keeps the footprint compact. Because it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops straight into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SCM Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Shifts a yarn guide carriage through its 75 mm travel, where the stainless build resists humid dye-room conditions.
Carton Flap Folder
Tucks small cardboard flaps on a packing line, using the 100.5 N push force to crease lightweight corrugated board.
Lab Sample Ejector
Pushes prepared test tubes out of a heated analysis block, relying on the CM round end to fit the compact instrument chassis.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SCM the Right Cylinder?
If 100.5 N is too much force, step down to the Ø12 bore which provides 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more push, the Ø20 bore offers 157.0 N. This 75 mm stroke sits well within the 500 mm maximum, keeping rod bending stress low. The -S magnet supports reed and electronic sensors, while the CM round end and standard mounts like LB foot or TC trunnion fit tight spaces.
Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred, as the TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the load. To hold a suspended weight securely, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 MI16X75SCM FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and a Ø6 mm piston rod with an M6x1.0 male thread.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The cylinder uses fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the piston at the stroke ends; it does not have an adjustable air cushion, which is found on the MIC variant.
