About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X100SCA
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles precise light-duty actuation. The Ø10 mm bore operates on an M5x0.8 port and features a CA pivot clevis back cover for straightforward articulated mounting. Its riveted round-body construction uses a stainless barrel and rod, resisting mild corrosion better than painted alternatives in damp production areas.
Because the bore falls within the Ø8-Ø25 range, it uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. Plan for roughly 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts about 2 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact without the tuning an adjustable cushion requires.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X100SCA Is Used
Electronic Component Handling
Pushes delicate PCBs or connectors in a pick-and-place router using its 39.3 N thrust, while the stainless body resists flux fumes.
Small Pouch Sealing Jig
Actuates a lightweight sealing bar over a 100 mm gap, with the CA clevis accommodating slight angular misalignment during the stroke.
Lab Dispenser Positioning
Moves a pipette head precisely, relying on the internal -S magnet to trigger DMSG reed switches for exact fluid dosing.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X100SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm stroke model, compare it against adjacent bores: the smaller Ø8 generates 25.1 N push, while the larger Ø12 provides 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa. If your mechanism relies on gravity or loses air, remember the piston drifts; the TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the load, so add a pilot check valve for vertical holding. The CA rear clevis suits pivoting loads, and you can pair the internal magnet with CMSG or EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke confirmation. For a 100 mm extension, ensure side loads are minimized to prevent rod bending.
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 MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X100SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 39.3 N and pulls 33 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 55 N and pulls 46.1 N. The theoretical maximum is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. Use an external pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
