About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200R
Generating 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MI20X200R is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built from a stainless-steel barrel and rod. The 20 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread, extending 200 mm on each cycle. Its riveted stainless construction shrugs off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. The R back cover features an axial-in port orientation, simplifying rear plumbing in tight spaces.
Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic sensors. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes, though they only decelerate the piston rather than acting as an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200R Is Used
Package Diverters
Pushes light cardboard cartons on packaging lines using 157 N of thrust, where the stainless body withstands occasional washdowns.
Lab Sample Ejection
Ejects plastic sample trays from testing machines with a reliable 200 mm travel, benefiting from the clean stainless-steel construction.
Textile Loom Tensioning
Tensions fabric webs in humid textile manufacturing environments, utilising the axial-in R port for compact rear mounting.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200R the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, the neighbouring 16 mm version offers 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 25 mm bore jumps to 245.3 N. Choose this model when your load sits closer to 94 N to avoid oversizing. It conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, so it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. You can utilise LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware alongside CA, U, R, or CM back covers.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and will not act as a brake. If your application requires holding a vertical load securely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Additionally, the 200 mm stroke demands attention to side loading—ensure adequate guide bearings to prevent rod bending over the extended length.
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 MI20X200R FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 219.8 N and pull is 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 1/8" air port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
No, because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it does not have an internal magnet and cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. The unit relies on fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.
