The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X130SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 130mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact automation tasks with ease. The riveted barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it far superior to painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.
The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 air port and an M4x0.7 male rod thread. It conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, so it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. For real-world sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which means it lifts roughly 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end to protect your mechanism.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Shifts lightweight thread guides across a 130 mm path; the stainless build resists humid dye-house atmospheres.
Actuates small sealing jaws with a 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the CA rear clevis handles the pivoting jaw motion.
Pushes test tubes out of a carousel with a safe 24 N working load, using the -S magnet to confirm ejection via a DMSG sensor.
When sizing this actuator, compare it against its neighbours: the smaller Ø8 bore yields 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø12 provides 56.5 N. If your task needs less than 25 N, step down to the Ø8; if you exceed 40 N, move up to the Ø12. This 130 mm stroke sits well within the 200 mm standard limit for this bore, but at this length you should watch for side loads that could bend the Ø4 mm rod. The built-in CA pivot clevis on the back cover is ideal for accommodating slight misalignment on swinging mechanisms. Note that air pressure alone will not hold a load if supply drops—the piston will drift, so fit a pilot-operated check valve if you need static positioning.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 39.3 N and pulls 33 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 55 N and pulls 46.1 N. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8 and the male rod thread is M4x0.7.
No, the piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end; they do not act as a brake. You must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
