Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SR
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SR 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 MI16X75SR
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" port and M6x1.0 male rod thread. The riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Its 16 mm bore conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises for easy design integration.
For practical sizing, plan for about 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts a 5.1 kg part vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches. Stroke-end impact is softened by fixed TPU bumper pads, while the R back cover provides an axial-in port orientation to keep hose routing tight against the machine frame.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SR Is Used
Bottle Diverter Gate
Pushes a lightweight stainless guide flap to sort filled beverage bottles on a washdown line, using the 100.5 N thrust to overcome friction from wet packaging.
Small Component Ejector
Kicks machined plastic parts out of a CNC fixture with a 75 mm travel, relying on the built-in magnet and DMSG sensor to confirm ejection before the next cycle.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds corrugated cardboard side flaps prior to sealing, where the compact 16 mm round body and axial R rear port fit neatly within tight packaging machine frames.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SR the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down to the Ø12 MI yields 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø20 MI provides 157.0 N. This 75 mm stroke sits well within the 500 mm maximum, keeping rod bending stress low for standard loads. The R-type axial rear port suits compact installations where side clearance is minimal. Because the standard TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston and never act as a lock, a pilot-operated check valve or external rod lock is required if the load must be held during air loss or valve centring.
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 MI16X75SR 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 is 1/8" and the male rod thread is M6x1.0.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centred. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. To hold a suspended load, you must fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
