About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X80SCASDB
Delivering 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 features a 1/8 inch air port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Its riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. The built-in piston magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for precise position detection.
Designed around the ISO 6432 mounting interface, the unit drops seamlessly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb shock at stroke extremes, while the 80 mm travel provides compact displacement. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 94 N, which equates to lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X80SCASDB Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Pushes lightweight sorting flaps on packaging lines, using the 80 mm stroke to redirect cartons efficiently.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Maintains consistent yarn tension in humid textile mills, leveraging the stainless rod to resist mild corrosion.
Bin Lid Actuation
Opens and closes access hatches on storage bins, where the SDB pivot block accommodates the swinging arc.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X80SCASDB the Right Cylinder?
This Ø20 mm bore sits neatly between the Ø16 option (offering 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the larger Ø25 size (providing 245.3 N). Choose this model when your application requires moving moderate loads within that 100 to 200 N range. It includes a CA pivot clevis back cover and an SDB pivot-block mounting accessory, offering flexible angular alignment for varying mechanical layouts.
Because it lacks an internal locking mechanism, the piston will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the TPU pads only decelerate the end of travel rather than braking the load. To suspend a weight securely during an air loss event, 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 MI20X80SCASDB FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses 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.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The CA back cover provides a rear pivot point for clevis mounting, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 dimensions for standard bracket fitting.
