Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID10X15S
The AirTAC Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID10X15S is a genuine double acting, double rod round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 15mm 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 MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID10X15S
Delivering 33 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder uses a through-rod design so extend and retract forces are perfectly equal. Because a rod exits both end covers, the twin-rod structure naturally resists rotation and side loads, providing steady guided pushes without needing an external guide for light tasks. The back rod end is also free to trip a switch or carry a stop. Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless barrel and rod, it handles mild washdown environments easily.
As a 10 mm bore ISO 6432 interface cylinder, it drops directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. The M5x0.8 port supplies air for double-acting operation at speeds of 30-800 mm/s. Equipped with a piston magnet, this -S variant supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position detection. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 20 N, and it can vertically lift about 1.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID10X15S Is Used
Symmetric Parts Shuttle
Ideal for moving light components between stations, using the equal 33 N force both ways to push and pull a carrier symmetrically without rotation.
Switch Trip Mechanism
The rear protruding rod end cleanly trips an external limit switch or flag, confirming position while the front rod executes the 15 mm work stroke.
Guided Micro Press
Twin rods resist side loads during small seating or pressing tasks, keeping the tool steady within the 20 N safe working load limit.
Is the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID10X15S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore option, consider the 8 mm MID if your load is very light, which provides 18.8 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 12 mm bore for 42.4 N if you need more push. The double-rod design is ideal when you need anti-rotation stability, want to drive a second load from the back rod, or need to trip a remote switch. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to soften stroke ends, but note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for holding a load, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion, while back covers offer CA, U, R or CM configurations (the SDB pivot-block is not available).
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 MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID10X15S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal both ways: 33 N at 0.5 MPa and 46.1 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 6.7 kgf. It uses an M5x0.8 air port.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. Note that the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end; the cylinder will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding.
