Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X75CA
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X75CA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 75mm 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 MI20X75CA
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 75 mm stroke with a CA pivot clevis. The 1/8" port feeds the bore smoothly, while the stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion better than painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Its rolled, riveted construction keeps the body compact, and fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end.
Because the Ø20 mm body follows ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. Plan for roughly 94 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to keep a safe margin, which translates to lifting an 8 kg part vertically. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG or DMSG sensors without switching to the -S version.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X75CA Is Used
Package Diverter Arm
Swings a lightweight gate using the CA pivot to sort small cartons on a packaging line, relying on the 157 N thrust to overcome guide friction.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Adjusts a yarn guide bar through a 75 mm travel distance, where the stainless rod resists humid production environments.
Bin Lid Actuator
Pivots a hopper cover open and closed, using the rear clevis to maintain alignment while moving an 8 kg lid mass safely.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X75CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 75 mm stroke unit, the Ø16 bore below offers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the Ø25 above jumps to 245.3 N. If your mechanism demands exact end-position sensing, select the -S magnet variant for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch compatibility. You can pair the rear CA clevis with LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets depending on the frame geometry.
Air pressure extends and retracts the rod, but a standard cylinder drifts if air is lost or the valve centres. The TPU bumpers only decelerate the end of travel; they do not lock the load. For vertical or suspended masses, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. On this 75 mm stroke, keep the load guided to prevent side-load bending on the Ø8 mm rod.
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 MI20X75CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 157 N push and 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/8" and the male rod thread is M8x1.25.
The Ø20 body uses ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, so it fits standard mini-cylinder clevises and flanges. However, this specific SKU has no internal magnet. You must order the -S version to use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches.
