Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45SU
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45SU 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.

About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45SU
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact actuation with ease. The Ø10 mm bore features an M5×0.8 port and an M4×0.7 male rod thread, driving a 45 mm stroke. Its round-body riveted construction uses a stainless barrel and rod to resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Built-in fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes, decelerating the piston smoothly.
Because it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, this unit drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises for straightforward spares replacement. The integrated piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N, or lifting about 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, rather than relying on the maximum theoretical rating.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45SU Is Used
Electronic Component Testing
Applies precise 39.3 N at 0.5 MPa to probe PCBs and verify connector pin continuity without damaging delicate surface-mounted parts.
Small Pouch Flap Folding
Uses the 45 mm stroke and 90-degree U cover to tuck carton flaps on compact packaging lines where stainless construction resists washdown.
Light-Part Ejection
Pushes small moulded plastic parts out of machining fixtures, safely lifting components weighing up to 2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore, compare it against the neighbouring 8 mm bore (offering 25.1 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the larger 12 mm bore (providing 56.5 N push) to match your exact force requirements. The U-style back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation, which helps route tubing neatly in tight machinery. If your mechanism must hold a vertical load when air pressure drops or the valve is centred, note that the piston will drift; the bumper pads only soften the end of stroke and do not act as a brake. For secure load holding, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 MI10X45SU FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has an M5×0.8 port and generates 39.3 N push / 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 55 N push / 46.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. The U back cover provides a 90-degree mounting and port orientation, and the body uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions.
