About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SU
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 200 mm travel requirement with ease. The Ø20 mm bore uses a 1/8 inch air port and an Ø8 mm piston rod threaded M8x1.25. Because the barrel and rod are stainless, the riveted construction resists mild corrosion better than painted alternatives in damp production areas.
The built-in piston magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to track position, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes. For real-world sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 94 N, which means it can lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SU Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Pushes a lightweight routing flap on a packaging conveyor, utilizing the 157 N thrust and 200 mm stroke to redirect small cartons efficiently.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Adjusts a yarn guide bar in a humid textile facility, where the stainless steel barrel prevents mild corrosion from ambient moisture.
Bin Lid Actuation
Opens and closes a hinged access cover on a storage hopper, lifting an 8 kg lid vertically with a safe 2:1 mechanical margin.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X200SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 200 mm stroke actuator, the Ø16 bore below offers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the Ø25 bore above steps up to 245.3 N. This model includes a U-type back cover for 90-degree mounting, but you can also utilise standard ISO 6432 brackets thanks to its mounting interface. The included magnet supports position sensing.
With a 200 mm stroke, minimize side loads to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is removed or a valve is centered; the TPU pads only decelerate the end of stroke and will not lock the load. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold position securely.
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 MI20X200SU FAQ
This Ø20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch air port and an Ø8 mm rod. 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.
Yes, it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket integration. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG or EMSG electronic switches to be fitted for position detection.
