Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75U
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75U 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 MI16X75U
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MI16X75U is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built from a stainless-steel barrel and rod. Its riveted construction shrinks the footprint while resisting mild corrosion, making it highly suitable for damp production zones or washdown-adjacent equipment. The U rear cover orients the port 90 degrees to the body axis, simplifying hose routing in tight machine cells.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches. Plan for roughly 60 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to avoid overstressing the mechanism, which translates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes, and the 1/8 inch port feeds air efficiently for the 75 mm travel.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75U Is Used
Package Deflector
Pushes lightweight cardboard cartons on a packaging line using 100.5 N of thrust, relying on the 90-degree port to keep airlines clear of the moving belt.
Lab Dispenser
Actuates a fluid nozzle for chemical dosing where the stainless body shrugs off ambient humidity and mild chemical splash.
Small Part Ejector
Kicks machined plastic parts out of a fixture, using the 75 mm stroke to clear the work area before the next cycle begins.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X75U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, compare its 100.5 N output at 0.5 MPa against the smaller MI12 (56.5 N) or the larger MI20 (157.0 N) to ensure you have the right thrust. The 75 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, keeping rod bending stress low. This version has no -S magnet, so position sensing is impossible without changing to an -S variant. If your mechanism must freeze in place during an air loss event, add a pilot check valve or external rod lock, as the TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and will not hold the payload.
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 MI16X75U 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, and the air port is 1/8 inch.
No, because this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet. You would need the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The body uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard brackets, and fixed TPU bumpers handle end-of-stroke deceleration.
