About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X40UTC
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact 40 mm strokes. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 air port and an M4x0.7 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it an edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact.
Because it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the body drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. Plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which lets you lift roughly 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X40UTC Is Used
Gate Deflection
Pushes a lightweight diverter gate on a packaging sorting line with 39.3 N, relying on the TC trunnion to pivot smoothly.
Lab Sample Ejector
Ejects small plastic test tubes from a centrifuge carousel, utilizing the stainless build to withstand frequent chemical wipe-downs.
Small Part Clamp
Secures tiny electronic connectors during an ultrasonic welding process, providing a reliable 33 N pull force at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X40UTC the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duties, the Ø8 bore provides 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N if you need more force. This model features a U 90-degree back cover and a TC trunnion mount for pivot-style installations. If your mechanism requires precise end-position sensing, select the -S magnet variant instead.
Remember that the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not function as a lock. If air pressure drops or the valve is centred, the rod will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load safely.
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 MI10X40UTC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 39.3 N push and 33 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 55 N push and 46.1 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must choose an -S variant if position sensing is required.
