Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X20SCALB
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X20SCALB 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 MI10X20SCALB
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact 20 mm strokes. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 port and a Ø4 mm piston rod with an M4x0.7 male thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. The riveted construction keeps the body light, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end.
For practical sizing, plan for about 24 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. Because it follows ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, this Ø10 unit drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X20SCALB Is Used
PCB Pusher
Advancing bare circuit boards into an etching fixture using the precise 20 mm stroke and 24 N safe working load.
Flap Deflector
Pivoting a lightweight cardboard guide on a small carton sealer where the stainless body resists humid packing areas.
Part Ejector
Kicking small plastic moulded components out of a machining zone with position feedback via a DMSG sensor.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X20SCALB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this bore, stepping down to the Ø8 version drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 25.1 N, whereas moving up to the Ø12 raises it to 56.5 N. This model includes an LB foot mount for base fixing and a CA pivot back cover for clevis attachments. The included -S magnet enables electronic and reed sensor tracking along the barrel.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely during an air loss event, 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 MI10X20SCALB 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 or the valve is centred. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a locking brake. You must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
