The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 45mm 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.
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact actuation where space is tight. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 air port and a Ø4 mm piston rod with an M4x0.7 male thread. Because the piston carries a magnet (indicated by the S suffix), it is ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches. The CA suffix denotes a rear pivot clevis, allowing angular alignment during operation.
The rolled stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion better than painted alternatives, making it suitable for damp production zones. Integrated fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact energy at the stroke ends to protect internal components. For practical sizing, plan for a working load of about 24 N, which lets you lift a 2 kg part vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. Conforming to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets without custom machining.

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.
Deploys the 39.3 N push force to gently push PCBs into testing fixtures without damaging delicate surface-mounted components.
Cycles the 45 mm stroke to close small polymer sealing jaws on food and medical pouches, utilizing the CA clevis for smooth pivoting motion.
Actuates routing gates on compact conveyor lines, where the stainless build withstands mildly humid warehouse environments.
When sizing this 45 mm stroke actuator, compare it against adjacent bores: the smaller Ø8 generates 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø12 provides 56.5 N. Choose this Ø10 model when you need roughly 39 N of thrust to avoid overstressing a lighter assembly. If your mechanism relies on the CA rear clevis for pivoting, remember that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift and drop the load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and act as neither a brake nor a lock. For vertical or suspended loads that must remain in place during an outage, install an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push is 55 N and the pull is 46.1 N. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This bore size features an M5x0.8 air port and a 4 mm rod with an M4x0.7 male thread.
Yes, the S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet designed for CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches. The CA designation specifies a rear pivot clevis mount, which allows the cylinder body to swivel slightly to accommodate misalignment during operation.
