About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X20SCATC
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles light-duty positioning with ease. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 port and a Ø4 mm piston rod with an M4x0.7 male thread. Its riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
Because it carries the -S suffix, the internal piston magnet is present and ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed and electronic switches. The fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end to absorb impact. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which means it can comfortably lift a 2 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X20SCATC Is Used
Electronic Component Sorting
Pushes small electronic relays down a sorting chute with a safe 24 N working load, using the short 20 mm stroke for rapid cycling.
Light Package Diversion
Extends a 2 kg deflector gate on a packaging line, utilising the stainless steel barrel to withstand humid washdown conditions.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects lightweight plastic moulded parts from a tooling cavity, relying on the CMSG sensor and TC trunnion mount for precise positioning.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X20SCATC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm stroke actuator, consider the neighbouring bores: the smaller Ø8 generates 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø12 provides 56.5 N if you need more force. This model includes a CA rear pivot cover and a TC trunnion mounting accessory, plus its ISO 6432 mounting dimensions ensure it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centred, as the bumpers only soften the end of travel rather than locking the rod. If your application requires the load to be held securely in place during an air failure, you should add 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 MI10X20SCATC FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses an M5x0.8 air port. It generates 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 55 N push and 46.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means a piston magnet is built-in, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position detection. It features fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end, but it does not have an adjustable air cushion.
