The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X105SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 105mm 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.
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact linear tasks. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 air port and an M4x0.7 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel alternatives in damp or washdown environments. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG position switches.
For practical sizing, plan for about 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts a 2 kg part vertically with a 2:1 margin. The riveted body keeps the unit light, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end. Because it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the body drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Pushes small electronic parts into sockets on automated assembly lines using a precise 39.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Diverts lightweight pharmaceutical blister packs along a guide rail, relying on the stainless body for cleanroom washdown compatibility.
Actuates a deflector gate on a conveyor to separate 2 kg plastic housings, utilizing the CA pivot clevis for smooth articulation.
When sizing this 10 mm bore, step down to the Ø8 model for lighter duties (18.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa) or move up to the Ø12 bore if you need more power (56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa). This 105 mm stroke sits well within the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, but at this length you should still minimize side-loading to prevent rod bending. The CA rear pivot cover suits articulated clevis mounting.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the load. To hold a vertical position securely, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The integrated magnet allows seamless sensor tracking.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 39.3 N and the pull force is 33 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 55 N and pull is 46.1 N. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8.
No, the base MI features fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end, not an adjustable air cushion (see the MIC variant for that). However, the -S magnet in this model fully supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG electronic or reed switches.
