About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10SCA
Delivering 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 Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 port and a Ø4 mm piston rod with an M4x0.7 male thread. Its stainless construction resists mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
The built-in magnet (-S) directly supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing, while the CA back cover provides a pivot/clevis mount. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the stroke-end impact. For practical sizing, plan for about 24 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can lift roughly 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10SCA Is Used
Clamp Actuation
Ideal for toggling small 24 N clamping jaws in PCB assembly stations where a 10 mm stroke provides just enough travel to secure delicate electronic components.
Part Diverter
Perfectly suited for lightweight 2 kg package routing gates on conveyor belts, using the CA pivot mount to swing a guide arm quickly into position.
Lab Sample Ejector
Excellent for pushing small medical vials out of testing carousels, leveraging the stainless steel barrel to withstand frequent chemical wipe-downs.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this Ø10 mm bore, dropping down to the Ø8 mm version reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 25.1 N, whereas stepping up to the Ø12 mm bore increases it to 56.5 N. The 10 mm stroke is extremely short, keeping the rod compact and minimizing side-load bending moments. Because the CA rear cover acts as a pivot, it accommodates angular movement during extension.
Remember that the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end; they do not function as a lock. If air pressure drops or the valve is centered, the piston will drift. To maintain a vertical load safely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve rather than relying on the cylinder itself.
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 MI10X10SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features an M5x0.8 port and generates a push force of 39.3 N and a pull force of 33 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 55 N and pull to 46.1 N. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the Ø10 mm bore adheres to ISO 6432 mounting interface dimensions, allowing it to drop into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. The included -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
