Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X60SR
The AirTAC Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X60SR is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 60mm stroke, M5×0.8 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 MSI16X60SR
Delivering 74.9 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (115.1 N at 0.7 MPa), this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder extends via compressed air and relies on an internal spring to retract. Because it is single-acting, you only need one air line, which saves plumbing and ensures the rod safely pulls back to rest if pressure drops. The Ø16 mm bore uses a Ø6 mm piston rod and an M6x1.0 male thread.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For sizing, this bore yields a safe working load of about 45 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating), translating to a vertical lift of approximately 3.8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensing.

Where the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X60SR Is Used
Light-Duty Clamping
Provides a steady 74.9 N of extension force to hold light workpieces, using the spring return to automatically release the clamp when air is removed.
Parts Ejection
Pushes finished components off a conveyor belt with a safe working load of roughly 45 N, retracting immediately to avoid blocking the line.
Gating Mechanism
Acts as a spring-return gate stop for small cartons, extending to block traffic and safely retracting to the home position upon air loss.
Is the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X60SR the Right Cylinder?
When sizing by push force, this 74.9 N bore sits neatly between the smaller Ø12 (44.0 N) and the larger Ø20 (119.5 N). If your load requires less force, step down to the 12 mm option; if you need more extension power, move up to the 20 mm bore. Remember that pressure must stay at or above 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring, and the rod will not extend below that threshold.
This 60 mm stroke is well within the 80 mm spring-limited maximum for Ø16 models. Mounting is highly flexible: choose LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block or TC trunnion hardware, and pair it with an R axial-in rear cover. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it fully supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors; a non-S SKU cannot take a switch.
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 MSI16X60SR FAQ
It generates 74.9 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 115.1 N at 0.7 MPa. The cylinder requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal return spring; below that, the rod will not extend. It is single-acting push type, so the spring drives the rod back to the retracted rest position when air is released.
No. On air loss, the spring forces the rod fully back to the retracted position, meaning it cannot hold an intermediate load without external means. It also uses fixed TPU bumper pads to soften stroke ends, not an adjustable air cushion. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for position tracking.
