About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X50SU
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles light-duty actuation with a 50 mm stroke. The riveted stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, outlasting painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Its 10 mm bore interfaces via an M5x0.8 port and an M4x0.7 male rod thread.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet, the unit supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. Plan for roughly 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to ensure reliable operation. This translates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, letting you match the actuator to real part weights without guessing.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X50SU Is Used
PCB Ejector Pins
Pushes delicate printed circuit boards out of test fixtures using a safe 24 N working load to avoid scratching the traces.
Small Carton Flaps
Folds lightweight cardboard flaps on packaging lines where the 2 kg vertical lift capacity easily overcomes board resistance.
Lab Sample Diverters
Actuates routing gates for test tubes in humid laboratory settings, relying on the stainless build to resist mild chemical washdown.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X50SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: an 8 mm version provides 25.1 N of push, while stepping up to a 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa. The 50 mm stroke sits well within the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, keeping the rod rigid. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight routing.
Because the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end, the piston will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centred. You must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to suspend a load securely. Position detection requires CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors, which latch onto the body using the integrated magnet.
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 MI10X50SU FAQ
This 10 mm bore cylinder uses an M5x0.8 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.
The 10 mm bore uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard brackets, but it does not hold position on air loss. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end; use a pilot check valve to hold a load.
