Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X80SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X80SCM 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 MI16X80SCM
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact automation with ease. The riveted Ø16 mm barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it a better choice than painted alternatives in damp production zones. Its 1/8" port and M6x1.0 male rod thread keep pneumatic and mechanical integration simple.
Because it carries an internal magnet, this -S SKU is ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches. The fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact without the tuning an adjustable cushion demands. For real work, plan for roughly 60 N of usable load at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X80SCM Is Used
PCB Depaneling Gate
Cycles an 80 mm stroke to open and close a routing gate on an electronics assembly line, using its 60 N safe working capacity to shift light aluminium jigs.
Carton Flap Folder
Tucks minor flaps on a small-box packaging conveyor where the stainless body resists daily washdown and the CM end mounts neatly into the frame.
Lab Sample Diverter
Pushes a lightweight guide arm to route test tubes into a secondary inspection lane, relying on the internal magnet to trigger DMSG reed sensors.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X80SCM the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the Ø12 bore provides 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø20 bore yields 157.0 N. This 80 mm stroke sits comfortably within the 500 mm maximum, so rod bending is minimal. The CM round end tail offers a clean rear profile for through-hole mounting. Remember that venting the air causes the piston to drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if gravity or load must be held.
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 MI16X80SCM 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. 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 suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
