About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SCAG
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact automation with ease. The Ø20 mm bore features a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Its riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, outperforming painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact, and the built-in magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors.
For practical sizing, plan for roughly 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lets you lift about an 8 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The CA pivot clevis back cover simplifies articulated mounting. Because it follows ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, this unit drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets without compatibility issues.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SCAG Is Used
Package Diverter
Pushes light cardboard cartons on a packaging line using its 157 N push force and 60 mm stroke to activate a routing flap.
Textile Loom Guide
Shifts a yarn guide arm rapidly via the CA pivot clevis, relying on the stainless body to endure humid manufacturing environments.
Bin Gate Actuator
Opens and closes a small gravity-feed hopper gate for plastic granules, using the CMSG sensor to confirm the 60 mm stroke endpoint.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SCAG the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 60 mm stroke model, compare it against its neighbours: the Ø16 bore yields 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the Ø25 provides 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 if your application requires around 157 N of push. The included -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and the G thread option accommodates BSPP fittings. A CA rear clevis accommodates pivoting loads.
Remember that the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end; they do not function as a brake. If air pressure drops or the valve centres, the piston will drift. To suspend a load safely during an air loss event, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
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 MI20X60SCAG FAQ
This Ø20 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 fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the piston near the stroke end and do not act as a brake. The piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
