About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X120SU
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact linear tasks with a 120 mm stroke. The Ø10 mm bore operates on an M5x0.8 air port and features a Ø4 mm piston rod with an M4x0.7 male thread. Its riveted stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Because the bore falls within the Ø8-Ø25 range, the body uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping smoothly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
For practical sizing, plan for roughly 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes, decelerating the piston without the complexity of an adjustable cushion. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position detection, while the U back cover provides a 90-degree port and mounting orientation for tight spaces.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X120SU Is Used
Electronic Pick-and-Place
Extends 120 mm to transfer light PCB assemblies between conveyor lanes, using the 2 kg vertical lift capacity to raise components safely.
Label Applicator Pusher
Cycles rapidly to press adhesive labels onto small cartons, relying on the 39.3 N push force and fixed TPU pads to absorb stroke-end impact.
Lab Sample Diversion
Mounts via the ISO 6432 interface and U cover to pivot guide gates in diagnostic machinery, with the stainless build resisting chemical splashes.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X120SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: an 8 mm version yields 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 12 mm bore provides 56.5 N. This model hits a useful middle ground for light-duty actuation. The 120 mm stroke is well within the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, keeping the unit readily available. For longer strokes like this, minimize side-loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the bumpers only soften the end of travel and will not hold a load. If your application requires position holding, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 MI10X120SU FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses an M5x0.8 air port. It generates 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 55 N push and 46.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. The U back cover provides a 90-degree mounting and port orientation, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for standard brackets.
