Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X80CA
The AirTAC Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X80CA is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 80mm 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 MSI16X80CA
Delivering a net push 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 a single-acting PUSH type, you only need one air line to operate it, saving plumbing and air consumption. The internal return spring ensures the rod safely retracts to its rest position if air pressure drops, meaning it will not hold a mid-stroke load. Built with a riveted stainless barrel and Ø6 rod, it resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket interchangeability. This CA-cover version includes a rear pivot clevis.
At the maximum standard spring-limited stroke of 80 mm, it yields a safe working load of roughly 45 N, or a vertical lift of about 3.8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; you would need the -S variant for position detection. Fixed TPU bumpers cushion the stroke ends.

Where the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X80CA Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Uses the 74.9 N push to extend an 80 mm blocker arm, routing light cartons on a conveyor before the spring retracts the gate out of the flow.
Light Part Ejector
Pushes finished plastic or small machined components out of a fixture; the fail-safe retract ensures the ejector clears the workspace on air loss.
Clamping Stop
Extends to act as a hard stop for lightweight workpieces, providing a secure 45 N safe holding force against the part during secondary operations.
Is the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI16X80CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing by push force, this 16 mm bore provides 74.9 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 12 mm bore offers 44.0 N; if you require more, the 20 mm bore yields 119.5 N. Remember that a minimum of 0.2 MPa is required to overcome the return spring—below that, the rod will not extend. This 80 mm stroke is the maximum standard travel available for this bore; longer distances would require a non-standard made-to-order cylinder. Mount this CA-clevis model using the ISO 6432 dimensions, and select the -S variant if your application requires magnetic sensing.
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 MSI16X80CA FAQ
It delivers 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 drives the rod back to the retracted rest position.
No, this specific SKU does not have a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. You must select the -S variant for position detection. It is a single-acting spring-return cylinder, not double-acting, and features a stainless steel build with an M5×0.8 port.
