Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X75CMTC
The AirTAC Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X75CMTC 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 MI20X75CMTC
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles demanding actuation with a 75 mm stroke. The Ø20 mm bore operates on a 1/8" port and features a CM round rear cover alongside a TC trunnion mount for versatile installation. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, offering a real advantage over painted alternatives in damp environments.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact without offering adjustable cushioning. Plan for roughly 94 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X75CMTC Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Pushes light cardboard cartons on a packaging line using its 157 N thrust and 75 mm travel, with the TC trunnion absorbing pivot stress during rapid cycling.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Adjusts yarn guide arms in humid textile facilities where the stainless-steel barrel prevents mild corrosion that would degrade standard painted cylinders.
Bin Lid Actuation
Opens and closes lightweight access hatches on storage bins, safely moving roughly 8 kg of vertical lid mass thanks to its double-acting air control.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X75CMTC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare its 157 N push at 0.5 MPa against the smaller Ø16 bore, which provides 100.5 N, or the larger Ø25 bore that outputs 245.3 N. The TC trunnion mounting pairs with the CM round back cover to support pivoting loads, though a 75 mm stroke keeps rod-bending side-loads minimal. If your application requires position feedback, select the -S magnet variant instead, as this base model cannot host a sensor.
Remember that fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end; they do not function as a lock. If air pressure drops or the valve is centred, the piston will drift. To maintain vertical positioning and prevent falling loads, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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 MI20X75CMTC 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, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select an MI20X75-S variant for magnetic sensing. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.
