Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X95SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X95SCM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 95mm 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 MI16X95SCM
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 Ø16 mm bore operates on a 1/8 inch air port, and the 95 mm stroke falls well within the 500 mm standard limit. Its riveted stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion, outperforming painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact, while the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.
For practical sizing, plan for roughly 60 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa rather than the absolute maximum. This equates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. The CM round rear cover keeps the body smooth, and because it follows ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises without custom hardware.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X95SCM Is Used
Package Diverter
Pushes light cardboard cartons on a packaging line using its 100.5 N push force, with the stainless build surviving occasional washdowns.
Small Part Ejector
Ejects moulded plastic parts from a press, using the 95 mm stroke and fixed TPU pads to soften the ejection impact.
Lab Sample Handler
Moves sample trays with precise positioning via DMSG sensors, taking advantage of the ISO 6432 bracket compatibility.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI16X95SCM 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, whereas stepping up to a 20 mm bore provides 157 N. If your application loses air or the valve centres, this cylinder will drift, as the TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the load; add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for strict position holding. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and you can mount it via LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion. At 95 mm, the stroke is moderate, but always support the rod end to minimise side-loading and prevent premature 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 MI16X95SCM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch air port and a Ø6 mm rod. It generates 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.
No, the base MI uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, not an adjustable air cushion; for adjustable cushioning, look at the MIC variant. Additionally, it will drift if air is lost, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a vertical load.
