Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10CAFA
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10CAFA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 10mm 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.

About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10CAFA
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles very short 10 mm strokes with precision. The riveted barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp production areas. Because the bore is Ø10, it carries an M5x0.8 port and an M4x0.7 male rod thread.
With a 39.3 N push rating, you can plan for roughly 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, or lifting about 2 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. The body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without switching to the -S version.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10CAFA Is Used
Micro-Clamp Actuation
Drives a 10 mm stroke to secure small electronic housings on a PCB router, using its 2 kg safe lift capacity to hold parts without deforming them.
Label Tamp Mechanism
Applies adhesive labels onto lightweight cosmetic cartons, where the stainless body resists washdown chemicals during shift-end cleaning.
Ejector Pin Push
Deploys a brief 10 mm ejection stroke to free small plastic clips from an injection mold cavity, relying on the M4x0.7 rod thread for secure tooling attachment.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10CAFA the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, stepping down to the Ø8 bore drops the push force to 25.1 N, while moving up to the Ø12 bore increases it to 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This CA back cover includes a pivot clevis, and pairing it with the included FA flange grants flexible mounting options for tight machinery.
Remember that the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end; they do not act as a brake. If your process requires the piston to hold its place during air loss or valve centering, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 MI10X10CAFA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 39.3 N push and 33 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 55 N push and 46.1 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet required for switches. You must use the -S variant to enable CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. It uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions and fixed TPU bumper pads.
