About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X50SULB
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact automation with ease. The 10 mm bore features an M5x0.8 air port and a 4 mm piston rod with an M4x0.7 male thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel or aluminium minis in damp, food or outdoor spots. Fixed TPU bumper pads soften the stroke-end impact by decelerating the piston, while the riveted round body keeps the unit compact and light.
With a 50 mm stroke, the built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. Plan for about 24 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 60 percent of the theoretical rating. Alternatively, it lifts about 2 kg vertically when applying a 2:1 safety margin to the 0.5 MPa push force.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X50SULB Is Used
PCB Pusher
Advancing bare printed circuit boards into an inspection fixture using the 39.3 N push force and integrated position sensing.
Carton Flap Folder
Folding small cardboard flaps on a packaging line where the 2 kg vertical lift capacity and 90-degree U cover port simplify routing.
Lab Dispenser
Actuating a precision valve for chemical dosing, leveraging the stainless construction to withstand mildly corrosive washdown environments.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X50SULB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore actuator, the smaller Ø8 version offers 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the larger Ø12 bore provides 56.5 N, letting you step up if the load demands more authority. This specific SKU includes an LB foot mounting accessory for secure base anchoring and a U-type back cover that orients the rear port 90 degrees for tight manifold routings. Because the standard MI series is double-acting, air drives both the extend and retract strokes.
A plain pneumatic cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the directional valve centres; the piston drifts under load. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and never act as a lock or brake. To suspend a load safely, specify an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The 50 mm stroke is well within the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, keeping rod bending and side-load risks minimal.
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 MI10X50SULB FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses an M5x0.8 air port. It generates 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 55 N push and 46.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the Ø10 bore uses the ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interface, dropping into standard brackets and clevises. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches, and this unit includes an LB foot mount and U-type 90-degree back cover.
