About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SR
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles a 200 mm stroke with a rugged riveted round body. The Ø20 mm bore operates on a 1/8 inch port and integrates an R axial-in rear cover for streamlined plumbing in tight assemblies. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Its end covers are rolled and riveted securely to the tube, keeping the unit compact while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact. Plan for roughly 94 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 8 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SR Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging conveyor, using the 157 N push force to redirect cartons at 30-800 mm/s without stalling.
Lab Sample Ejection
Ejects processed specimen trays from a testing carousel, leveraging the stainless steel construction to resist humid laboratory conditions.
Tote Pusher Mechanism
Pushes empty totes into position on a fulfillment line, utilizing the 200 mm stroke and CMSG sensors to confirm full extension.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SR the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 200 mm stroke unit, verify your load against the 131.9 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less power, the Ø16 bore provides 100.5 N push; stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N. Because this is a longer 200 mm stroke, ensure your mounting configuration—whether LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion—prevents rod side-loading and bending. The ISO 6432 mounting interface drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. To suspend a vertical load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve in the air line.
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 MI20X200SR FAQ
This Ø20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch 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 force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. The R back cover provides an axial-in port orientation, which helps save space along the cylinder length when plumbing rear air lines.
