Airtac B01-MI Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-MI20X10CA
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MI Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-MI20X10CA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" 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 B01-MI Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-MI20X10CA
The B01-MI20X10CA is an application-dedicated variant of the AirTAC MI20X10CA, meaning the B01- prefix simply groups customer-specified builds while retaining the exact standard mechanics. This double-acting round-body mini cylinder utilizes a stainless-steel barrel and rod to resist mild corrosion in damp or washdown settings, a distinct advantage over painted alternatives. It pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa.
Featuring a very short 10 mm stroke and a CA rear pivot cover, it fits neatly into tight mechanical linkages. The 1/8" port drives the 8 mm rod at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s. Plan for roughly 94 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 8 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads soften the impact at stroke extremes, though this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG or DMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac B01-MI Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-MI20X10CA Is Used
Gate Deflector Arms
Uses the CA pivot and 10 mm stroke to nudge small diverter gates on packaging lines, leveraging the 157 N push force to snap components into place rapidly.
Clamping Pins
Secures lightweight aluminum jigs during machining, applying 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa to hold parts firmly without deforming the material.
Product Stops
Acts as a short-travel stop block on food-grade conveyors where the stainless steel construction prevents mild corrosion from routine washdowns.
Is the Airtac B01-MI Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-MI20X10CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore unit, dropping down to a 16 mm bore reduces the push force to 100.5 N, whereas stepping up to a 25 mm bore increases it to 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The CA rear clevis is ideal for pivot-mounting applications, but remember that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the TPU pads only decelerate the end of travel and act as neither a lock nor a brake. For suspended loads, integrate an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, position sensing is unavailable unless you upgrade to the -S variant for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The 10 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, keeping the rod highly resistant to bending, but always verify side-load alignment to maximize seal life.
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 B01-MI Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-MI20X10CA FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 219.8 N and the pull is 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B01- prefix denotes an application-dedicated, customer-specified line of the base MI20X10CA, with zero mechanical differences to the standard model. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot support CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
