About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SUTC
Generating 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles robust 60 mm strokes. The Ø20 mm bore features a 1/8" air port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread, integrating smoothly into existing pneumatics. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a distinct edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise position detection. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 94 N, which means it can comfortably lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke ends, while the TC trunnion and U 90-degree back cover offer versatile mounting orientations.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SUTC Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cardboard cartons on a packaging line using its 157 N thrust and 60 mm travel distance.
Lab Sample Ejection
Ejects plastic sample trays from testing equipment, relying on the stainless build to resist chemical splashes.
Parts Pressing
Lightly seats bearings or pins into housings, utilizing the 8 kg safe vertical lift capacity safely.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SUTC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 60 mm stroke unit, consider the neighbouring bores: the Ø16 generates 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the Ø25 steps up to 245.3 N. If your application loses air or the valve centres, this cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load—the fixed TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for secure positioning. The TC trunnion mount pairs with the U back cover to handle pivoting loads, and you must specify the -S magnet option to use reed or electronic sensors.
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 MI20X60SUTC FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and it uses a 1/8" air port.
No, it uses fixed TPU bumper pads that merely decelerate the piston at the stroke end rather than providing adjustable air cushioning. Additionally, it cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost; you will need an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding.
