Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 200mm 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 MI20X200SCA
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 built-in magnet and CA pivot clevis. The Ø8 mm piston rod uses an M8x1.25 male thread, while the air supply connects via a 1/8" port. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
Because it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the body drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. The riveted construction remains compact, and fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes. For actual work, plan for around 94 N of usable load at 0.5 MPa; vertically, it lifts about 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The integrated -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SCA Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line, using the 8 kg vertical lift capacity to swing heavy cardboard cartons into a secondary sorting lane.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Maintains consistent fabric tension in a humid manufacturing environment, relying on the stainless steel construction to resist mild corrosion.
Pallet Stacking Pusher
Extends 200 mm to push empty pallets into a stacking cradle, with the CA clevis allowing slight pivot to compensate for uneven pallet heights.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, the smaller Ø16 generates 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø25 provides 245.3 N. If your application loses air or the valve centers, this standard cylinder will drift and cannot hold position; the bumpers only decelerate the end of travel. To lock a suspended load, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The CA rear pivot cover suits angular movement, and you can pair it with LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion mounts. At 200 mm of extension, minimize side-loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
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 MI20X200SCA FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This model uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate at stroke ends, not an adjustable air cushion. However, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches directly to the body.
