Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X65CA
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X65CA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 65mm 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 MI20X65CA
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 65 mm stroke with a robust Ø20 mm bore. The riveted barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Its 1/8" port feeds the chamber efficiently, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes without offering adjustable cushioning.
Because it lacks the -S suffix, this specific SKU cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches. In practical terms, you can plan for roughly 94 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, or lift an 8 kg part vertically with a sensible 2:1 safety margin. The built-in CA rear pivot cover allows direct clevis mounting, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for straightforward bracket integration.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X65CA Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Swings a lightweight routing flap on a packaging line, using the CA pivot to swing the 65 mm stroke and push parcels with its 157 N force.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Maintains yarn tension in a humid textile facility where the stainless steel barrel resists mild corrosion and the 8 kg vertical lift capacity manages guide arms.
Bin Lid Actuator
Pivots small hopper lids open and closed, relying on the fixed TPU bumpers to quietly decelerate the stroke end without adjustable cushions.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X65CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 65 mm stroke unit, the adjacent Ø16 bore generates 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø25 yields 245.3 N, helping you decide if 157 N is the sweet spot. The CA back cover provides a pivot point, but remember that venting or centring the valve lets the piston drift freely; the TPU pads only soften the end stops rather than braking the load, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold position. At 65 mm, side-load risk is minimal, but always guide the rod to prevent 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 MI20X65CA FAQ
This Ø20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. 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, because this model lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing, though this version still offers ISO 6432 mounting dimensions and a CA clevis cover.
