About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10SUTC
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 barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp environments. Its compact footprint utilises the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises for easy design integration.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), it supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches for position sensing. Plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which means you can reliably lift roughly 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The integrated fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end, while the U-type 90-degree rear cover and TC trunnion mounting provide versatile installation options.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10SUTC Is Used
Micro-Clamping Actuator
Ideal for securing tiny electronic components on a PCB assembly line, using the 39.3 N push force to hold parts firmly without crushing them during soldering.
Short-Stroke Ejector
Perfect for popping small moulded plastic parts out of a die, where the 10 mm travel is sufficient to dislodge the item for a robotic picker.
Lab Dispenser Valve
Suits precise fluid dispensing heads in automated lab equipment, using the built-in magnet and CMSG sensor to confirm the exact 10 mm open/close position.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10SUTC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore actuator, consider the adjacent options: the smaller Ø8 generates 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the larger Ø12 provides 56.5 N if your payload demands more authority. Because this specific configuration includes a TC trunnion mount and a U-type 90-degree back cover, ensure your frame accommodates this pivot style. The M5x0.8 port and M4x0.7 male rod thread are fixed by the bore size.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and cannot act as a brake. If your application requires the load to remain stationary during a pressure drop, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Furthermore, the extremely short 10 mm stroke minimises rod-bending side-load risks, but always guide the load properly to prevent binding.
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 MI10X10SUTC FAQ
This 10 mm bore cylinder features an M5x0.8 air port and generates 39.3 N push / 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 55 N push / 46.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
