About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X15SCA
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact 15 mm strokes with precision. The integrated piston magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position feedback. Its riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, outperforming painted alternatives in damp environments. Featuring an M5x0.8 port and an M4x0.7 male rod thread, it operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the Ø10 mm body drops smoothly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. The CA rear pivot cover is designed specifically for clevis mounting, accommodating angular movement. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact to protect internal components. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N at 0.5 MPa, which means it can lift about 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X15SCA Is Used
Gripper Actuation
Drives small pneumatic grippers in electronics assembly, using the 15 mm stroke to open and close jaws for handling delicate components.
Part Diverter Gate
Pivots a lightweight sorting flap on a packaging conveyor, where the CA clevis mount accommodates the required angular motion.
Micro-Clamp Assembly
Secures small plastic housings during ultrasonic welding, providing a reliable 39.3 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X15SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore actuator, consider the adjacent options: the smaller Ø8 generates 25.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø12 provides 56.5 N. If your application loses air pressure or the valve is centred, the piston will drift, as the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a locking brake. To maintain vertical position holding under such conditions, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The short 15 mm stroke minimizes rod bending and side-load risks, making it highly rigid. Remember that the -S magnet is essential for switch detection, and the CA back cover requires a matching rear clevis bracket.
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 MI10X15SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 39.3 N and the pull force is 33 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 55 N and pull is 46.1 N. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 10 mm bore cylinder uses an M5x0.8 air port and features a 4 mm piston rod with an M4x0.7 male thread.
No, the piston will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centred. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the rod near the stroke end and do not act as a brake. For vertical load holding, you must use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
