The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X155CA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 155mm 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.
Generating 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 Ø10 mm bore features an M5x0.8 port and an M4x0.7 male rod thread, extending 155 mm to move small actuators. Its stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, outlasting painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Riveted construction keeps the body light, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact.
Because the 155 mm travel sits near the top of the standard range for this bore, plan for about 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin. That translates to lifting roughly 2 kg vertically, letting you match the cylinder to real part weights. The rear CA clevis mount accommodates pivoting loads, though this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet and therefore cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

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 a lightweight yarn guide through 155 mm of travel, using the 39.3 N push force to maintain tension without stressing the fibres.
Pivots via the CA clevis to tuck small cardboard flaps on a packaging line, where the stainless body resists humid warehouse conditions.
Pushes test tubes out of a carousel with a 2 kg vertical lift capacity, relying on fixed TPU bumpers to prevent glass breakage at stroke end.
When sizing this 10 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: an 8 mm version offers 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N. If your mechanism drops air or the directional valve centres, this standard cylinder will drift and cannot hold position; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the end of travel rather than locking the rod. For suspended loads, install an external pilot check valve or a rod lock.
The CA rear pivot cover suits articulated linkages, and the body accepts standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting brackets and clevises. Given the 155 mm stroke on a 4 mm rod, avoid excessive side loads that could induce rod bending or guide wear.
Quick checklist
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.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet required for switches. You must choose an MI10 model with the -S suffix to use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. The unit does feature a CA rear clevis and ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for standard brackets.
