Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SCALB
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SCALB 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 MI20X200SCALB
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 200 mm stroke with a Ø8 mm piston rod. The riveted barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Because it uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets without redesign.
The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end. For real-world sizing, plan for roughly 94 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. Air connects via a 1/8 inch port.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SCALB Is Used
Package Diverting Gate
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line, using the 157 N push force to redirect cartons at speed.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Adjusts yarn tension arms in a humid textile facility where the stainless build prevents mild corrosion.
Pallet Label Applicator
Extends 200 mm to press labels onto pallet loads, relying on the LB foot mount for rigid alignment.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SCALB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, stepping down to the Ø16 class drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, whereas moving up to the Ø25 bore raises it to 245.3 N. The included LB foot bracket and CA pivot back cover provide stable base mounting, and the -S magnet enables electronic or reed sensing. Keep in mind that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure drops; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load securely. At 200 mm, also verify side loading to avoid bending the rod.
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 MI20X200SCALB FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder has a 1/8 inch port. 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.
It uses fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end but do not act as an adjustable air cushion. The piston will drift if air is lost, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required to hold a vertical load.
