Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X20SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X20SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 20mm 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 MI10X20SCA
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles short 20 mm strokes with precision. The riveted construction and stainless barrel resist mild corrosion, giving it a distinct edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Because it includes a piston magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches directly for position sensing.
It features an M5x0.8 port and a CA pivot clevis back cover for compact articulation. The fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end without adjustable cushioning. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X20SCA Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Uses the 20 mm stroke to push lightweight plastic mouldings out of an injection press with precise 39.3 N force.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Pivots a small guide flap via the CA clevis to sort small packages on a washdown-capable stainless conveyor line.
PCB Clamp Release
Provides a compact 10 mm bore release mechanism in electronics assembly, easily tracked by an EMSG sensor.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X20SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force than the 39.3 N provided here at 0.5 MPa, step down to the Ø8 bore; for heavier pushing, the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N. The built-in magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors, while the CA rear clevis pairs with standard pivot mounts. Note that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure drops, so fit an external pilot check valve if you must hold a vertical load.
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 MI10X20SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 39.3 N and pulls 33 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 55 N and pulls 46.1 N. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8.
No, the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and are not an adjustable air cushion. The piston will drift if air is lost, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required to hold a vertical load.
