Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID8X75
The AirTAC Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID8X75 is a genuine double acting, double rod round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø8mm bore and 75mm 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 MID8X75
Delivering 18.8 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions, this stainless steel round-body mini cylinder uses a through-rod design that exits both end covers. Because a rod occupies each side, the extend and retract areas are identical, providing perfectly balanced force for symmetric tasks. The twin-rod architecture also resists rotation and side loads, offering steadier guiding for light jobs without needing an external guide. The back rod end remains free to trip a switch or carry a stop. With a safe working load around 11 N, it can vertically lift about 1 kg each way with a 2:1 margin.
Built with a riveted stainless barrel and rod, the MID8X75 withstands mild corrosion and washdown environments. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket integration. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; order the -S variant for position sensing. Air connects via an M5x0.8 port, and fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke ends.

Where the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID8X75 Is Used
Symmetric Component Shuttle
Ideal for pushing a small 1 kg electronics part back and forth between two stations, utilizing the equal 18.8 N force in both directions for consistent cycle timing.
Back-Rod Switch Tripping
The rear protruding rod can physically trigger an external mechanical limit switch at stroke end, bypassing the need for a magnetic sensor on this non-magnetized model.
Light Guided Ejection
Ejecting small molded plastic caps from a washdown station, where the stainless build resists moisture and the twin rod prevents the ejector tip from twisting under friction.
Is the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID8X75 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 8 mm bore, step up to the MID12X75 if you need more force, as it delivers 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa compared to the 18.8 N here. There is no smaller MID bore, so for lighter duties select a different compact cylinder family. The double-rod layout 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. For mounting, use LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, plus CA, U, R, or CM back covers; the SDB pivot-block is not available on this double-rod variant.
Remember that fixed TPU bumpers only soften the stroke end and do not lock the piston. If air pressure drops, the cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load. To maintain vertical position on air loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Because this exact model has no -S magnet, it cannot support 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 0.15 – 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 MID8X75 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal both ways: 18.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 26.4 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical output of 3.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses an M5x0.8 air port.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The stainless steel through-rod design does provide excellent anti-rotation resistance for guiding.
