Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X60SCA is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 60mm 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 MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X60SCA
Delivering a net push force of 74.9 N at 0.5 MPa, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder uses compressed air to extend and an internal spring to retract. Because it is single-acting, you only need one 1/8 inch air line, which saves plumbing and ensures the rod pulls back to a safe retracted rest state if air pressure drops. The 60 mm stroke sits perfectly within the 80 mm spring travel limit for this bore.
The Ø16 mm barrel and Ø6 mm piston rod are built from stainless steel to resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket interchangeability. For sizing, this bore yields a safe working load of about 45 N, capable of vertically lifting around 3.8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is included for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and the CA back cover provides a pivot clevis mount.

Where the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X60SCA Is Used
Light-Duty Clamping
Pushes parts firmly against a stop with 74.9 N of force, then springs back instantly when air is cut to release the part.
Package Ejector
Extends 60 mm to knock lightweight cartons off a line, using the fail-safe retract to clear the path during jams.
Pin Stop Gate
Acts as a spring-return physical barrier for small workpieces, lifting out of the way the moment air is applied.
Is the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing by push force, this 74.9 N unit sits between the smaller MSI12 (44.0 N) and the larger MSI20 (119.5 N) at 0.5 MPa. You must supply at least 0.2 MPa of air to overcome the internal return spring; below that threshold the rod will not extend. The 60 mm stroke is a standard spring-limited length, so no made-to-order wait is required.
Mounting is straightforward using the CA rear clevis along with standard ISO 6432 brackets. The built-in magnet (-S) allows direct fitting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position confirmation. Fixed TPU bumper pads handle end-of-stroke deceleration.
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 0.2 – 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 MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X60SCA FAQ
It provides a net push force of 74.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 115.1 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal spring and extend the rod; when air is released, the spring retracts it.
No, the internal spring drives the rod to the fully retracted rest position on air loss. It cannot hold an intermediate load. The -S suffix enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and the stainless build resists mild corrosion.
