About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X100SU
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles light actuation with precision. The riveted barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp production areas. Its 100 mm stroke operates at 30-800 mm/s, and the integrated piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing.
Featuring an M5x0.8 port and a 90-degree U back cover, the unit conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket integration. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 24 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa; vertically, it lifts about 2 kg safely with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X100SU Is Used
PCB Ejector Pins
Pushes delicate printed circuit boards out of test fixtures using a safe 24 N working load to avoid damaging surface mount components.
Light Package Diverters
Actuates small sorting gates for light parcels in distribution hubs, relying on the 90-degree U cover for tight conveyor frame mounting.
Lab Sample Ejection
Ejects filled vial racks from automated liquid handling stations, where the stainless build resists humid laboratory environments.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X100SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore, step down to an 8 mm version (25.1 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter tasks, or up to a 12 mm bore (56.5 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need more extension force. The U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree mounting option for compact spaces. Because the standard MI lacks a locking mechanism, the piston will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a load vertically.
With a 100 mm stroke on a Ø4 mm rod, keep the load guided to prevent side-loading and rod bending. The -S magnet enables electronic or reed sensor tracking, whereas a standard SKU without the S suffix cannot accept switches.
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 MI10X100SU FAQ
This 10 mm bore cylinder has an M5x0.8 port. It generates 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 55 N push and 46.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift without air pressure. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. You must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
