The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X25SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 25mm 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.
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC MI10X25SCA is a compact double-acting round-body mini cylinder built from a stainless-steel barrel and rod. The riveted construction shrinks the footprint while resisting mild corrosion, making it far superior to painted aluminium in damp washdown environments. It breathes through an M5x0.8 port and features a 25 mm stroke.
Because it carries an internal magnet (-S), the cylinder readily accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed and electronic switches for position sensing. The rear CA pivot clevis simplifies angular mounting. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting a 2 kg part vertically with a safe two-to-one margin.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Uses the 25 mm stroke and 39.3 N push force to gently pop finished circuit boards out of test fixtures without marring the surface.
Actuates a lightweight flap to divert small pouches on a packaging line, benefiting from the stainless build during periodic washdowns.
Pushes processed vials out of a centrifuge carousel, where the 2 kg vertical lift capacity and compact ISO 6432 dimensions are ideal.
When sizing this 10 mm bore, the smaller Ø8 generates 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø16 yields 100.5 N, giving you a clear upgrade path if the 39.3 N rating falls short. The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG or DMSG sensors, and the CA rear clevis accommodates pivoting loads.
Remember that the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the piston near the stroke end; they do not function as a brake. If your application must prevent drift upon air loss or valve centering, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 10 mm bore cylinder uses an M5x0.8 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 of 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the fixed TPU bumper pads only soften the stroke end and cannot act as a lock. The piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and the CA cover provides a rear pivot.
