Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X160SU
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X160SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 160mm 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 MI10X160SU
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact actuation with ease. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5×0.8 port and a 160 mm stroke, while the built-in magnet (-S) directly supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches for position sensing. Its riveted round-body design sheds mild moisture better than painted alternatives, and the integrated fixed TPU bumper pads quietly absorb end-of-stroke impacts.
Because the 39.3 N rating is theoretical, plan for a real working load of about 24 N at 0.5 MPa. That translates to safely lifting a 2 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The rear U cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight routing, and the ISO 6432 mounting dimensions let you drop this actuator straight into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X160SU Is Used
Electronic Component Ejection
Uses the 39.3 N push force to tap small microchips out of test sockets on an automated PCB assembly line without damaging the delicate substrate.
Label Applicator Tamp
Extends 160 mm to press adhesive labels onto lightweight cardboard cartons, relying on the fixed TPU bumper pads to soften the stroke end.
Lab Tube Sorting
Pushes sample vials between testing carousels where the stainless-steel barrel resists daily chemical wipe-downs and the 2 kg vertical lift margin handles filled tubes.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X160SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm stroke model, compare it against the smaller Ø8 bore (25.1 N push at 0.5 MPa) or the larger Ø12 bore (56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) to match your exact payload. Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. To suspend a load safely, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
The extended 160 mm travel demands careful alignment to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors, and the 90-degree U back cover keeps pneumatic tubing neatly out of the way during side-mounted installations.
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 MI10X160SU FAQ
This Ø10 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port and generates 39.3 N push / 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 55 N push / 46.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation, and the body uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket integration.
