Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45U
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45U 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 MI10X45U
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact 45 mm strokes with a 90-degree U rear cover. The riveted stainless barrel and Ø4 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown-prone environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises, simplifying spares and design integration.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches. Plan for roughly 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin, which translates to lifting about 2 kg vertically. The M5×0.8 port feeds air to extend and retract the rod, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end without offering adjustable cushioning.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45U Is Used
PCB Ejector Pins
Uses the 39.3 N push stroke to gently pop bare boards out of test fixtures without marring the surface.
Blister Pack Flap Tucking
Fits into tight packaging machinery to tuck carton flaps, utilising the compact 45 mm stroke and 90-degree U cover.
Lab Dispenser Diversion
Actuates a small gate to route microfluidic vials on a conveyor, relying on the stainless body to resist chemical splashes.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: step down to the Ø8 if your load is under 25 N, or move up to the Ø12 (56.5 N push) if you need more authority. This 45 mm stroke is well within the 200 mm maximum, keeping the rod rigid. If your process drops air pressure or centres the valve, the piston will drift, as the TPU pads only decelerate the end of travel rather than locking the load. For vertical or suspended loads, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The 90-degree U back cover suits side-pivot mounting, and you must select the -S variant if your machine requires magnetic sensing.
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 MI10X45U 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 is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses an M5×0.8 air port and a Ø4 mm piston rod with an M4×0.7 male thread.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches will not function. You must purchase the -S variant for position sensing. It uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions and fixed TPU bumper pads rather than adjustable cushions.
