Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X50SUTC
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X50SUTC is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 50mm 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 MI10X50SUTC
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact actuation where space is tight. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 air port and an M4x0.7 male rod thread. Its round-body riveted construction features a stainless-steel barrel and rod that resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes without requiring manual adjustment.
Because the piston generates 39.3 N, you can plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N of real work at 0.5 MPa. That translates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, making it easy to match to real part weights. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing, while the U rear cover provides a 90-degree port orientation. The TC trunnion mount allows pivoting, and its ISO 6432 mounting dimensions drop directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X50SUTC Is Used
Electronic Component Sorting
Uses the 39.3 N push force to deflect small electronic parts on a test conveyor, relying on the -S magnet and DMSG switch to confirm ejection.
Carton Flap Folding
Extends 50 mm to fold light cardboard flaps on a packaging line, where the stainless steel barrel withstands occasional washdown.
Lab Sample Diverting
Pivots on its TC trunnion to push test tubes into a routing lane, safely lifting roughly 2 kg of carrier mass at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X50SUTC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 39.3 N (at 0.5 MPa) unit, verify if the smaller Ø8 bore (25.1 N push) is too weak, or if the larger Ø12 bore (56.5 N push) is required for your payload. This model includes a TC trunnion mount and a 90-degree U back cover, so ensure your frame accommodates the pivot and side-exit porting. The integrated -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG electronic and reed switches for end-of-stroke confirmation.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centred, as the TPU bumpers only soften the stroke end rather than locking the rod. To suspend a load safely during an air failure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. With a 50 mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending stresses remain low, but always verify that your pivoting trunnion mount keeps the rod aligned with the load.
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 MI10X50SUTC FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has 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, and a theoretical maximum of 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost, as the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. For vertical loads, you should add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position feedback.
