Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X30U
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X30U 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 MI10X30U
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact automation tasks with ease. The 10 mm bore features an M5x0.8 port and a 90-degree U rear cover, allowing ports and pivot pins to sit at a right angle for tight machinery layouts. Its riveted stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild washdown better than painted alternatives, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impacts without needing adjustment.
Because the 39.3 N rating is theoretical, plan for a real working load of roughly 24 N. That translates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin, helping you match the actuator to actual part weights. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches; add the -S variant if your cycle requires position sensing.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X30U Is Used
PCB Ejector Pins
Pushes delicate printed circuit boards out of test fixtures using a safe 24 N working load, preventing trace damage during automated unloading.
Pouch Flap Folding
Tucks cardboard flaps on small carton packaging lines where the 90-degree U cover keeps the air routing neatly out of the main product flow.
Small Part Sorting
Diverts lightweight plastic caps on a conveyor belt, using the 30 mm stroke to quickly flick parts into the correct receiving chute.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X30U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: step down to an 8 mm bore for lighter 25.1 N tasks, or move up to a 12 mm bore if you need 56.5 N to overcome higher friction. This model uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, so it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. The 30 mm stroke is short and highly resistant to rod bending, but remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops—the bumpers only soften the stroke end, so fit an external pilot check valve if the load must hang safely mid-air.
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 MI10X30U 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, and the air port is M5x0.8.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches will not function. You must select the -S variant (e.g. MI10X30SU) to enable position sensing.
