About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X125SCA
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles delicate positioning tasks with ease. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 air port and a 125 mm stroke, fitting neatly into compact assemblies. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
Because it carries an -S suffix, the piston includes a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The riveted round body keeps the unit light, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact at the stroke ends. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N, which means it can lift about 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X125SCA Is Used
Electronic Component Ejection
Uses the 39.3 N push force to tap delicate chips out of test sockets on an assembly line without damaging the pins.
Packaging Diverter Arm
The CA pivot mount pairs with a 125 mm stroke to push small cardboard cartons off a main belt into a secondary packing lane.
Lab Sample Sorting
The stainless steel construction survives daily wipe-downs, while the 2 kg vertical lift capacity easily redirects light plastic sample tubes.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X125SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need slightly less force, the Ø8 bore drops to 25.1 N push, whereas stepping up to the Ø12 bore increases output to 56.5 N. This Ø10 model occupies a useful middle ground for compact ejection and gating. The CA back cover provides a pivot or clevis mount, allowing the cylinder to articulate smoothly on moving arms.
Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the end of travel and will not lock the load. For vertical applications requiring position holding, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The 125 mm stroke is well within the 200 mm standard maximum, but long strokes demand careful alignment to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
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 MI10X125SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 39.3 N push and 33 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 55 N push and 46.1 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8.
The Ø10 bore conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, so it drops into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. It cannot hold a load unpowered; the piston drifts on air loss and the fixed TPU bumpers only soften the stroke end, so use a pilot check valve for vertical holding.
