Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID8X80S
The AirTAC Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID8X80S is a genuine double acting, double rod round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø8mm 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 MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID8X80S
Delivering 18.8 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions, the AirTAC MID8X80S is a compact double-acting round-body mini cylinder. Because a Ø4 mm piston rod exits both end covers, extend and retract forces are identical and the twin rod naturally resists rotation and side load. The rear rod end is free to trip a switch or carry a stop without needing external guides. Built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod, it withstands mild corrosion and washdown environments.
It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket integration. This 8 mm bore unit uses an M5x0.8 air port and an M4x0.7 male rod thread. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. For a practical buyer insight, the safe working load is roughly 11 N, letting you vertically lift about 1 kg each way with a 2:1 safety margin.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø8mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 19 N |

Where the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID8X80S Is Used
Symmetric Shuttle
Drives a small light-load carrier back and forth with equal 18.8 N force and steady anti-rotation guidance in both directions.
Rear Rod Switch Trip
Uses the extended back rod end to physically trigger an external limit switch or flag, leaving the front rod completely free for work.
Lab Dispense Push
Provides a stable, guided downward press for low-force fluid dispensing or testing fixtures where a 1 kg payload is moved smoothly.
Is the Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID8X80S the Right Cylinder?
As the smallest bore in the range, there is no smaller MID size to step down to. If you need more force, the next size up is the MID10, which raises the 0.5 MPa output to 33.0 N. The through-rod design is ideal when you need steadier guiding for light pushes, a back-rod switch trip, or symmetric shuttle movements. Note that the fixed TPU bumper pads only soften the stroke end; they do not lock the piston. To hold a load on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. You can use LB, FA, or TC mounts, but the SDB pivot block is not available on this double-rod variant.
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 MID8X80S FAQ
It delivers equal force both ways because the double rod occupies each side: 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.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The stainless steel round-body build also ensures mild washdown resistance.
