Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm 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 MI20X60SCA
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles robust 60 mm strokes with ease. The Ø20 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke ends, while the riveted construction keeps the body compact.
Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 94 N—about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating—or expect it to lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The CA back cover equips the cylinder with a rear pivot clevis, ideal for angular load alignment.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SCA Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line, using the 157 N push force to smoothly redirect boxes weighing up to 8 kg onto secondary tracks.
Small Press Ejection
Ejects lightweight stamped parts from a die bed, utilizing the 60 mm stroke and fixed TPU bumpers to soften the end-of-travel impact during rapid cycling.
Lab Sample Handling
Moves fluid sample trays in a humid testing chamber, where the stainless-steel rod and barrel provide necessary resistance to mild corrosion and condensation.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 60 mm stroke unit, the Ø16 bore below offers 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø25 bore provides 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 model when your application sits squarely in the middle of that range. The ISO 6432 mounting interface on this bore allows it to drop directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises, simplifying spares and design work.
Note that a plain double-acting cylinder like this drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a lock. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Additionally, the 60 mm stroke is well within standard limits, but always ensure the CA clevis mounting absorbs lateral stresses to prevent rod bending.
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 MI20X60SCA FAQ
This Ø20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air 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 force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The CA back cover provides a rear pivot clevis for articulated mounting, and the body uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket integration.
