About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X40CA
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles light actuation with a 40 mm stroke. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 port and a 4 mm rod, while the rear CA clevis accommodates pivoting loads. Its riveted round body shrinks footprint while resisting mild corrosion in damp environments.
Plan for roughly 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to ensure reliable operation, which translates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X40CA Is Used
Pick-and-Place Nozzle
Extends 40 mm to position a small vacuum nozzle for transferring electronic components on a PCB assembly line.
Film Clamp
Secures packaging film web tension during cutting, leveraging the 33 N pull force at 0.5 MPa for stable feeding.
Lab Dispenser
Pivots on the CA clevis to accurately press a reagent dispenser tip in a humid analytical laboratory environment.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X40CA the Right Cylinder?
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 if your payload exceeds the 2 kg vertical lift guideline. The CA rear pivot cover suits angular movement, and standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions let you drop the body into generic mini-cylinder brackets.
Remember that venting the air supply causes the piston to drift, as the TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. To suspend a load safely, install an external pilot check valve or rod lock. For faster cycling with heavier impacts, consider the MIC variant for its adjustable air cushion.
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 MI10X40CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes with 39.3 N and pulls with 33 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 55 N and pull is 46.1 N. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features an M5x0.8 air port.
Yes, the Ø10 mm body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy installation in standard clevises. However, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches.
