About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X220CA
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 220 mm stroke with a CA pivot clevis. The 1/8 inch port and M8x1.25 male rod thread ensure straightforward pneumatic integration. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes, decelerating the motion without offering adjustable cushioning.
For practical sizing, plan for roughly 94 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches. The 220 mm stroke sits well within the 500 mm maximum, and the CA rear cover provides a robust pivot point for articulating mechanisms.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X220CA Is Used
Package Diverter Arm
Actuates a swinging gate on a packaging line to route parcels, utilizing the 157 N push force and CA pivot clevis for smooth angular rotation.
Storage Tray Pusher
Indexes metal trays into a testing fixture over a 220 mm travel distance, where the stainless construction resists humid factory conditions.
Textile Loom Guide
Shifts a yarn guide mechanism back and forth, relying on the fixed TPU bumper pads to soften the impact at the end of each rapid cycle.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X220CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: the 16 mm bore yields 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the 25 mm bore provides 245.3 N. If your mechanism experiences air loss or the valve is centred, the piston will drift, as the TPU bumpers only soften the stroke end rather than locking the load; employ an external rod lock or pilot check valve for secure holding. The CA pivot clevis suits angular movement, but with a 220 mm extension, be mindful of side-loading and rod-bending forces to prevent 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 MI20X220CA FAQ
This 20 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.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; you would need the -S variant for sensing. It does conform to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for Ø20, allowing it to drop into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
