About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200CM
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 200 mm travel range with a CM round end rear cover. The Ø20 mm bore operates on a 1/8 inch port and features an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod naturally resist mild corrosion, giving it a distinct edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the body drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes without offering adjustable cushioning. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 94 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can comfortably lift about an 8 kg load vertically. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without upgrading to an -S variant.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200CM Is Used
Package Diverting Gate
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line, using the 157 N push force to redirect medium-weight cartons at high speed.
Lab Sample Ejection
Ejects processed specimen trays from a testing carousel, leveraging the stainless construction to resist harsh chemical wipe-downs.
Tote Push-Off Station
Pushes empty storage totes onto an exit roller conveyor, utilizing the 200 mm stroke to clear the main accumulation zone.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 200 mm stroke actuator, verify your load against the 131.9 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less power, the smaller Ø16 bore provides 100.5 N of push force; for heavier demands, stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet, position sensing is unavailable unless you switch to an -S model. The CM round end cover dictates your rear mounting orientation, so ensure your bracket matches this specific back-cover style.
With a 200 mm extension, the Ø8 mm piston rod is susceptible to bending if subjected to lateral loads, so strictly guide the payload to avoid side-loading. Furthermore, standard double-acting cylinders drift when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. To suspend a load safely during an air loss event, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
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 MI20X200CM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/8 inch port and generates 157 N push / 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 219.8 N push / 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa. Its theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select an -S variant for position sensing. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.
