About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SCMTC
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 operates on a 1/8" port and features a CM round rear cover alongside a TC trunnion mount for versatile installation. An integrated piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, offering a distinct advantage over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impacts to protect the mechanism. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 94 N, which means this actuator can lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SCMTC Is Used
Package Diverting Gate
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging conveyor, using the 157 N push force to redirect cartons weighing up to 8 kg into secondary lanes.
Lab Sample Ejection
Ejects processed fluid samples from a testing carousel, where the stainless construction resists chemical exposure and the CM cover allows tidy port routing.
Tote Push-Off Arm
Cycles a 60 mm stroke arm to push small storage totes off an accumulation roller table, relying on the TC trunnion to handle slight angular offsets.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SCMTC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 60 mm stroke actuator, verify your payload against the 131.9 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less power, the Ø16 bore provides 100.5 N push, while heavier demands can step up to the Ø25 bore offering 245.3 N. The TC trunnion mount pairs seamlessly with the ISO 6432 mounting interface, ensuring compatibility with standard mini-cylinder brackets.
Because this is a double-acting cylinder, air drives both directions, but the piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a brake. To sustain a vertical load during an air loss event, incorporate 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 MI20X60SCMTC FAQ
This Ø20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" 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 indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The cylinder uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate at the stroke end; it does not feature an adjustable air cushion.
