About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10U
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles short 10 mm strokes with precision. The riveted barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, outlasting painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. It features an M5x0.8 port and a male M4x0.7 rod thread.
Because the 39.3 N rating leaves little room for friction, plan for about 24 N of real work at 0.5 MPa. This translates to lifting roughly 2 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the end-of-stroke impact, while the rear U cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight spaces.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10U Is Used
Ejector Pins
Drives short 10 mm ejection strokes in small assembly fixtures, using its 39.3 N push to clear lightweight plastic components.
Part Clamping
Secures small electronic housings during ultrasonic welding, applying a firm grip without crushing delicate materials.
Gate Diversion
Actuates miniature diverters on packaging lines, where the stainless body withstands occasional washdowns and damp conditions.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X10U the Right Cylinder?
For slightly lower force, the Ø8 bore provides 25.1 N of push, whereas stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This Ø10 model fits neatly between them for compact actuation. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; add the -S variant if you require position detection.
The 90-degree U back cover simplifies plumbing in confined machinery. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred, as the TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. Use an external pilot check valve if you need to hold a load securely.
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 MI10X10U FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 39.3 N push and 33 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it delivers 55 N push and 46.1 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches will not function. You must select the -S magnet variant to enable position sensing.
