About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X120SCA
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC MI10X120SCA is a compact double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for light-duty automation. Its stainless-steel barrel and Ø4 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it a better choice than painted alternatives in damp or washdown-prone environments. The integrated CA pivot clevis simplifies rear mounting, while the M5x0.8 port keeps air fittings standard for sub-compact machines.
Because the bore is Ø10, the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. Plan for roughly 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin, which translates to lifting about 2 kg vertically. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes, and the built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensing.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X120SCA Is Used
PCB Component Placement
Handles delicate pick-and-place tasks for electronic assembly, using the 2 kg vertical lift capacity to move light sensors into jigs.
Small Pouch Deflection
Actuates light sealing jaws or deflector gates on packaging lines where the 39.3 N push force easily overcomes spring resistance.
Lab Sample Routing
Pivots sample tubes via the CA clevis between testing stations in analytical equipment, benefiting from the stainless washdown resistance.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X120SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 120 mm stroke model, verify your payload keeps side-loading on the Ø4 mm rod to a minimum to prevent premature wear. If you need less force, stepping down is not an option as Ø10 is the smallest practical MI size, but stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa if your mechanism binds. The CA rear clevis suits pivoting loads, but remember a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops; add an external pilot check valve if you must freeze the piston mid-stroke.
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 MI10X120SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 39.3 N push and 33 N pull, increasing to 55 N push and 46.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8.
This model has fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion. However, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG electronic switches.
