About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X120CA
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MI10X120CA is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for compact automation. Its stainless-steel barrel and Ø4 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel alternatives in damp processing areas. The riveted construction keeps the unit light, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot host magnetic sensors; adding an -S variant is required to use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
With a 120 mm stroke and an M5x0.8 port, this Ø10 mm bore unit operates at 30-800 mm/s. The rear CA pivot cover allows direct clevis mounting, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket matching. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 24 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X120CA Is Used
Electronic Component Sorting
Pushes small electronic parts down a testing lane with a safe 24 N working load, relying on the 120 mm stroke to clear adjacent tooling.
Carton Flap Folding
Uses the CA pivot mount to swing a lightweight arm, folding cardboard flaps prior to sealing in high-speed packaging lines.
Lab Sample Diverting
The stainless-steel construction withstands wipe-down chemicals in laboratories while deflecting sample vials into collection chutes.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X120CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 39.3 N (at 0.5 MPa) unit, compare it against the smaller Ø8 bore that yields 25.1 N, or step up to the Ø12 bore providing 56.5 N if your payload demands more push. The CA rear pivot is ideal for articulating mechanisms, but remember that venting the air supply will cause the piston to drift; this cylinder cannot hold a load mid-stroke. For suspended loads, specify an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock. The 120 mm stroke is well within the 200 mm standard maximum, though long, thin rods are susceptible to bending under side loads, so ensure guided alignment.
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 MI10X120CA FAQ
This Ø10 mm bore cylinder features an M5x0.8 port and delivers 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and therefore cannot support CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches. You would need the -S variant (MI10X120CA-S) to enable position sensing.
