Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X15U
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X15U is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 15mm 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.

About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X15U
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles very short 15 mm shifts. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 port and a 4 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 alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end to protect your mechanism.
For practical sizing, plan for about 24 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Because the bore falls within the Ø8-Ø25 range, it uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping smoothly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. This specific U configuration features a 90-degree rear cover for tailored port and mounting orientation.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X15U Is Used
Micro-Clamp Actuation
Drives a 15 mm shift to close small clamps on PCB routing lines, using the 39.3 N thrust to secure delicate panels for soldering.
Film Feed Deflection
Taps packaging film guides with a rapid 15 mm stroke, relying on the stainless build to withstand humid packing rooms.
Small Part Ejection
Pushes lightweight plastic mouldings out of a tool die, lifting parts under 2 kg safely with a 2:1 vertical lift margin.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X15U the Right Cylinder?
If your task needs less force, the Ø8 bore provides 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N for heavier resistance. This 15 mm stroke keeps the rod exceptionally short, minimising side-load and rod-bending risks. The U-style 90-degree back cover suits specific spatial layouts, and you can pair the body with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware. Remember that air pressure alone does not secure the piston; if valve centring or air loss occurs, the rod drifts. To lock a load in place, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve rather than relying on the bumpers.
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 MI10X15U FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes 39.3 N and pulls 33 N at 0.5 MPa, and pushes 55 N / pulls 46.1 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 10 mm bore, a 4 mm rod, an M5x0.8 air port, and an M4x0.7 male rod thread.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet required for switches, so it cannot take CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. You would need the -S variant (MI10X15SU) to enable magnetic sensing. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate at the ends, not an adjustable air cushion.
