About the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X75SCA
Delivering 74.9 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC MSI16X75SCA mini cylinder uses compressed air to extend the rod while an internal spring handles the return. Because it is a single-acting PUSH type, you only need one 1/8" air line to operate it, saving on plumbing and valves. The listed force is already net of the return spring, meaning you get that actual output at the rod thread (M6x1.0). If air pressure drops below 0.2 MPa, the spring wins and the rod will not extend.
Built with a stainless-steel round barrel and piston rod, the riveted construction resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket interchangeability. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of about 45 N, which translates to clamping or lifting roughly 3.8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU includes the -S magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and features a CA rear pivot cover.

Where the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X75SCA Is Used
Part Ejection
Pushes finished parts out of a machining fixture with 74.9 N of force, relying on the spring to retract safely when air is cut.
Flow Gating
Acts as a pneumatic stop pin on a conveyor line, lifting to block 3.8 kg items and dropping back to release them.
Carton Clamping
Holds light packaging against a guide rail during a process cycle, automatically releasing if the 0.2 MPa minimum air supply fails.
Is the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X75SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, note that stepping down to an MSI12X75 provides 44.0 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to an MSI20X75 yields 119.5 N. Choose this 74.9 N model when your application requires moderate push force with a guaranteed fail-safe retract on air loss. The 75 mm stroke sits just under the 80 mm maximum standard travel for this bore, ensuring reliable spring return without made-to-order delays.
Mounting is straightforward via the CA back cover, and the integrated -S magnet allows direct fitment of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position confirmation. Remember that the fixed TPU bumpers soften the stroke ends but do not lock the load; the rod always returns to its retracted rest state when air is removed.
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 MSI16X75SCA FAQ
This single-acting push cylinder generates 74.9 N of force 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; below that, the rod stays retracted. When air is released, the spring drives the rod back to its rest position.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches directly to the stainless barrel for stroke detection.
