About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X65SCATC
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 uses a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Its riveted stainless barrel and rod naturally resist mild corrosion, outperforming painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impacts to protect the mechanism.
Because it carries the -S suffix, an internal piston magnet is included for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 94 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to safely lifting an 8 kg vertical load with a 2:1 margin. The CA rear pivot cover and TC trunnion accessory supply flexible mounting options, while the ISO 6432 mounting interface ensures compatibility with standard mini-cylinder brackets.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X65SCATC Is Used
Package Diverting
Actuates routing gates on packaging lines, using the 157 N push force to redirect cartons without stalling the belt.
Textile Loom Tensioning
Maintains thread tension dynamics in humid textile facilities where the stainless steel barrel resists moisture.
Bin Lid Automation
Lifts access hatches on material bins, comfortably handling the 8 kg vertical lid weight within a 2:1 safety factor.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X65SCATC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 65 mm stroke unit, compare it against adjacent bores: the smaller Ø16 generates 100.5 N push, while the larger Ø25 provides 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa. If your assembly loses air pressure or the valve is centred, the piston will drift and drop the load, as the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. To maintain vertical position holding, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock. The built-in magnet pairs directly with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, and the TC trunnion mount helps absorb minor misalignment on longer 65 mm strokes to prevent rod 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 MI20X65SCATC FAQ
This Ø20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch air 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 bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake; the piston drifts if air is lost, requiring a pilot check valve for holding. The included -S magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
