Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X30CA
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X30CA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 30mm 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 MI10X30CA
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles light actuation with a 30 mm stroke. The riveted round body uses a Ø4 mm piston rod and an M5x0.8 port, conforming to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions so it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
Fixed TPU bumper pads soften the impact at stroke ends, though they only decelerate the piston rather than acting as an adjustable cushion. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. For practical sizing, plan for about 24 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X30CA Is Used
Electronic Component Sorting
Actuates a 30 mm diverter gate on a PCB conveyor, providing the 39.3 N needed to flick lightweight plastic trays into the correct bin.
Small Bag Sealing Press
Closes a lightweight heat-seal jaw with enough stroke to clear the bag, using the CA pivot to accommodate slight jaw misalignment.
Lab Reagent Dispenser
Drives a micro-pump handle in a humidity chamber where the stainless steel construction prevents mild corrosion from repeated chemical exposure.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X30CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore, step down to the Ø8 version if your load requires under 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or move up to the Ø12 bore (56.5 N) if you need more authority. The CA back cover provides a rear pivot clevis for angular alignment, complementing standard LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion options. Keep in mind that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the bumpers only soften the end of travel and will not hold a load. For vertical positioning, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Even at this short 30 mm stroke, ensure the rod thread (M4x0.7) is aligned to prevent side-load binding.
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 MI10X30CA FAQ
This 10 mm bore cylinder features an M5x0.8 port and generates 39.3 N push / 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 55 N push / 46.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches cannot be used. You must order the -S variant (with magnet) to enable magnetic sensing.
