About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10CA
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles very short 10 mm strokes with precision. The riveted stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, outlasting painted aluminium in damp washdown environments. It features an M5x0.8 port and a male M4x0.7 rod thread.
Because the 39.3 N output yields a safe working load of about 24 N, you can expect it to lift roughly 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact, and the CA rear pivot cover allows angled articulation. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10CA Is Used
Electronic Component Sorting
Uses the 10 mm stroke and 24 N safe working load to deflect tiny parts down a chute on a PCB assembly line without damaging them.
Packaging Diverter Gate
Employs the CA pivot bracket to swing a lightweight guide flap, routing small pharmaceutical cartons at high cycling speeds.
Lab Sample Ejector
Leverages the stainless steel construction and 2 kg vertical lift capacity to push moisture-sensitive vials out of a testing carousel.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10CA the Right Cylinder?
For tasks needing less force, the Ø8 bore provides 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø12 bore offers 56.5 N if this 39.3 N rating is insufficient. The CA clevis back cover suits pivoting loads, but remember that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure drops—the TPU bumper only decelerates the stroke end and will not lock or hold the payload. To suspend a load safely, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
With just a 10 mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending risks are minimal, making it ideal for tight clamping actions. If your assembly requires position feedback, select the -S magnet variant to enable magnetic 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 MI10X10CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 55 N push and 46.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses an M5x0.8 air port and a 4 mm rod with an M4x0.7 male thread.
Yes, the Ø10 bore adheres to ISO 6432 mounting interface dimensions, so it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder clevises and brackets. However, this specific SKU has no internal magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches; you must specify the -S variant for position sensing.
