About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X50SCA
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles light actuation with a 50 mm stroke. 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 environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact.
Built with an internal magnet, the -S designation allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position detection. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 24 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about a 2 kg mass vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The CA rear pivot cover provides a clevis mount for articulating linkages.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X50SCA Is Used
Pick-and-Place Ejector
Ejecting small lightweight plastic parts from an injection mould tool using the 50 mm stroke and 39.3 N push force.
Sorting Diverter Arm
Pivoting a small guide arm via the CA clevis to push small pharmaceutical vials onto a secondary packaging line.
Lab Sample Elevation
Raising delicate testing trays vertically by 50 mm, safely lifting loads up to 2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X50SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbours: an 8 mm version offers 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N. If air pressure drops or the valve centres, this cylinder will drift and cannot hold a suspended load—the TPU pads only soften the stroke end, so add a pilot-operated check valve or external rod lock for holding. The CA back cover supplies a rear clevis pin joint, ideal for pivoting mechanisms.
This specific SKU includes the piston magnet for switch tracking. If your mechanism requires axial porting instead of a clevis mount, explore other back-cover options like the R type, but ensure you retain the -S suffix if position feedback is needed.
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 MI10X50SCA 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 and the male rod thread is M4x0.7.
No, this model features fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the piston at the stroke end but are not adjustable. For adjustable air cushioning, you would need the MIC variant. This unit does use the ISO 6432 mounting interface and includes a magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
