About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SU
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles a 75 mm stroke with a 16 mm bore. The 1/8" port and M6x1.0 male rod thread ensure straightforward pneumatic integration. Its riveted round-body construction uses a stainless barrel and rod, resisting mild corrosion in damp or washdown environments better than painted alternatives.
Because the -S suffix includes a piston magnet, the unit supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. For real-world work at 0.5 MPa, plan for roughly 60 N of usable load, which translates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact, and the rear U cover provides a 90-degree mounting interface.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SU Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Pushes lightweight cardboard cartons on a packaging line using a 75 mm stroke, relying on the 100.5 N push force to pivot the guide rail smoothly.
Lab Sample Ejector
Ejects plastic test tubes from a centrifuge carousel, where the stainless steel barrel prevents corrosion from incidental chemical splashes.
Small Part Sorter
Actuates a sorting flap for lightweight plastic components, using the rear U cover for a compact 90-degree pivot mount on the frame.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, compare it against neighbours: the smaller Ø12 generates 56.5 N push, while the larger Ø20 provides 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa. If your machine loses air or the valve centres, this cylinder will drift and cannot hold position—the TPU pads only decelerate the end of travel, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. The built-in magnet pairs directly with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions let you drop it into existing mini-cylinder brackets. At a 75 mm stroke, keep side-loading minimal to avoid bending the Ø6 mm rod.
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 MI16X75SU FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder has a 1/8" port. The double-acting thrust is 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 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.
Yes, the -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston at the stroke ends. The body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for standard brackets.
