About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X600SCM
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles long-reach tasks. The 600 mm stroke is a made-to-order length that exceeds the standard 500 mm maximum for this 20 mm bore. It features a CM round rear cover and a built-in piston magnet for position sensing.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. For practical sizing, plan for about 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X600SCM Is Used
Long-Reach Diversion
Pushes packages across a wide conveyor belt using the full 600 mm extension, relying on the 157 N thrust at 0.5 MPa to redirect heavy cartons.
High-Bay Ejection
Ejects stored totes from deep racking bays where a standard 500 mm stroke falls short, using the CM round end for straightforward rear mounting.
Sample Transfer
Moves test samples between laboratory stations in damp environments, leveraging the stainless-steel construction to resist mild corrosion and washdown.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X600SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, the 16 mm bore provides 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 25 mm bore offers 245.3 N if you need more force. Because this 600 mm length is a non-standard stroke, expect a made-to-order lead time and ensure your guiding structure handles the extended rod to prevent bending. The CM round end and 1/8 inch port simplify plumbing.
This base MI relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion; choose the MIC variant if you need variable damping. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred, so install an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. The included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches.
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 MI20X600SCM FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses 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.
No, the piston drifts if air is lost or the valve is centred. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end; they do not act as a brake. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold suspended loads.
