The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X60CA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 60mm 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.
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles light-duty positioning with ease. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 port and a 60 mm stroke, making it a compact choice where space is tight. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion better than painted alternatives in damp environments.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the round riveted body drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. The rear CA clevis allows pivoting, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impacts. Plan for roughly 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift about 2 kg vertically against gravity.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.5 MPa | 39 N | 33 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 55 N | 46 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 8 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Actuates a small diverter gate on a PCB conveyor, using the 60 mm stroke to push lightweight boards into testing lanes.
Swings a label applicator head via the CA clevis bracket, applying precisely 24 N of working force to press labels onto small cartons.
Ejects plastic vials from a centrifuge carousel, leveraging the stainless construction to withstand humid laboratory conditions.
If 39.3 N is too much, step down to the Ø8 bore which outputs 25.1 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more force, the Ø12 bore pushes 56.5 N. This 60 mm stroke sits well within the 200 mm maximum for the bore. Because this SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. The CA rear pivot cover suits angular movement requirements.
Remember that venting the air causes the piston to drift, as the bumper pads only soften the stroke end rather than locking the rod. To suspend a load securely during air loss, install an external pilot check valve. For higher cycling speeds with heavier loads, consider the MIC variant which features adjustable air cushions.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder pushes 39.3 N and pulls 33 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 55 N and pull is 46.1 N. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses an M5x0.8 air port.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select an -S variant of the MI series to enable magnetic sensing.
