About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X170SCA
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact linear motion tasks. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 air port and an M4x0.7 male rod thread. Its 170 mm stroke falls within the standard range, while the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG position switches. The rear CA clevis allows pivoting mount configurations.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, outperforming painted alternatives in damp environments. Because it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact without offering adjustable cushioning. Plan for roughly 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts about 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X170SCA Is Used
Electronic Component Ejection
Uses the 39.3 N push force to tap small delicate parts from test fixtures without causing surface damage.
Package Sorting Diverter
Employs the 170 mm stroke and CA pivot bracket to push lightweight cardboard cartons onto secondary routing belts.
Lab Sample Handling
Leverages the stainless steel construction and 2 kg vertical lift capacity to move specimen trays in humid testing chambers.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X170SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, the smaller Ø8 bore provides 25.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N. This model occupies a precise middle ground for light-duty ejection. The CA rear pivot cover suits angular movement, complementing LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion options. Since the -S magnet is present, you can directly mount reed or electronic sensors.
Remember that the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the end of travel; they do not function as a brake. If air pressure drops or the valve centers, the rod will drift and drop any suspended mass. To prevent vertical load movement, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 MI10X170SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 39.3 N push and 33 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 55 N push and 46.1 N pull. 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 is lost; you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load. The included -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position detection. Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the stroke end but are not an adjustable cushion.
