Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X180SU
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X180SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 180mm 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 MI10X180SU
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 10 mm bore and 180 mm stroke hit the max standard stroke limit, while the U-type back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight machinery layouts. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed and electronic switches for position sensing.
The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. By planning for about 24 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, you can reliably lift parts weighing roughly 2 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston at the stroke ends, and the M5x0.8 air port keeps pneumatic plumbing compact.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X180SU Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes small lightweight cardboard cartons on a packaging line using the 39.3 N thrust at 0.5 MPa.
Lab Test Ejection
Ejects small plastic specimen trays from a testing fixture using the 180 mm travel and 90-degree U cover.
Small Part Sorting
Deflects lightweight plastic components on a vibratory bowl feeder exit chute with a safe 24 N working load.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X180SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbours: an 8 mm version offers 25.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N. This model sits right in the middle for light-duty sorting. Because the 180 mm stroke approaches the maximum standard travel for this bore, watch out for rod bending under side loads and ensure proper guiding. The ISO 6432 mounting interface drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises, simplifying spares.
If your process requires the rod to stay put during an air loss or when a valve is centred, note that the piston will drift. The TPU pads only soften the end-of-stroke impact and do not function as a brake. For secure load holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve in the pneumatic circuit.
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 MI10X180SU FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has an M5x0.8 port and generates 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it provides 55 N push and 46.1 N pull, with a theoretical maximum force of 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The U-type back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation, and the body uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket integration.
