About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X65SCA
Generating 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles robust actuation tasks. The Ø20 mm bore operates on 1/8" ports and features an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Because the piston carries a magnet, it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches for automated feedback. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
The riveted construction keeps the unit compact, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact at the stroke extremes. With a 65 mm stroke, it yields a safe working load of about 94 N and lifts roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The rear CA pivot cover allows direct clevis mounting, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket integration.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X65SCA Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Pushes light cardboard cartons on a packaging line using the 65 mm stroke and 157 N push force, with the CA clevis accommodating slight pivot alignment.
Lab Sample Ejector
Ejects plastic test tubes from a wet processing station, leveraging the stainless-steel rod's washdown resistance and the -S magnet for cycle confirmation.
Bin Lid Actuator
Lifts an 8 kg access cover vertically on a material hopper, operating well within the safe working load to ensure reliable, repeatable opening.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X65SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider the neighbouring bores: the smaller Ø16 generates 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø25 provides 245.3 N. If your mechanism loses air or the valve centres, the piston will drift; the bumpers only decelerate the end of stroke and do not function as a lock. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. For high-cycle automation exceeding standard speeds, the MIC variant offers adjustable air cushioning, whereas the MID provides a double-rod option.
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 MI20X65SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 157 N push and 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This Ø20 mm bore uses 1/8" ports and an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
Yes, the -S designation means it has a built-in piston magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The CA back cover is a pivot/clevis style. The body uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, and fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the stroke ends without acting as an adjustable cushion.
