Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X300CA
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X300CA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 300mm 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 MI20X300CA
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 300 mm stroke with a CA pivot clevis. The Ø8 mm piston rod uses an M8x1.25 male thread, and air feeds through a 1/8" port. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
Riveted construction keeps the body compact, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact at the stroke ends. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without switching to an -S variant. Plan for a real work rate of about 94 N, which means it lifts roughly 8 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X300CA Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Pivots a sorting flap on a packaging line using the CA clevis, relying on the 157 N push force to redirect cartons smoothly.
Lab Sample Ejection
Pushes prepared specimens out of a testing station over a 300 mm travel distance, benefiting from the stainless build in humid lab conditions.
Tote Lifting Arm
Raises a lightweight goods tote using the 8 kg vertical lift capacity, with the compact round body fitting neatly into tight racking aisles.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X300CA the Right Cylinder?
With its 300 mm stroke, this Ø20 mm model sits between the Ø16 bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the Ø25 bore (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa). If your payload is lighter, the Ø16 saves space, but if you need more authority, the Ø25 provides a major boost. Note that a 300 mm rod extension increases side-load risks, so ensure your front mounting guides the load to prevent rod bending.
The CA rear clevis accommodates pivoting loads, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for standard mini-cylinder brackets. Because this configuration has no -S magnet, position sensing is impossible on this exact unit. Remember that venting the air causes the piston to drift, so install a pilot-operated check valve if you must hold a load mid-stroke.
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 MI20X300CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.8 N and pulls 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is 1/8".
The Ø20 mm body uses ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, so it fits standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. However, this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches without upgrading to the -S variant.
