Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X80CM
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X80CM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 80mm 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 MI16X80CM
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles an 80 mm stroke with a 1/8 inch port. The riveted stainless barrel and Ø6 mm rod resist mild corrosion, giving it an edge over painted alternatives in damp production areas. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke ends, while the CM round rear cover keeps the footprint clean for tight assemblies.
Because it uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, this Ø16 unit drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Plan for about 60 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without switching to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X80CM Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Pushes lightweight cardboard cartons on a packaging line using its 100.5 N push force and 80 mm travel distance.
Lab Sample Ejector
Ejects plastic test tubes from a wet processing station, leveraging the stainless steel barrel for washdown resistance.
Small Parts Clamp
Secures aluminium machining blanks during light milling, utilising the fixed TPU bumpers to soften clamping impact.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X80CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: a 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 20 mm bore provides 157 N. If your mechanism requires position holding on air loss, remember this plain cylinder will drift, as the TPU pads only decelerate the end of travel rather than locking the rod. You would need an external pilot check valve or rod lock for secure load holding. The CM round end cover suits basic rear mounting, and you can utilise LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion brackets. For an 80 mm stroke, ensure your guiding structure handles any slight side-load to prevent premature rod bending.
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 MI16X80CM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch port and a 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 force of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select the -S magnet variant for position sensing. It does conform to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for standard bracket fitting.
