About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X60SCA
Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact automation tasks with ease. The 10 mm bore features an M5x0.8 air port and a 60 mm stroke, utilizing a CA rear pivot cover for clevis mounting. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, outperforming painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the body drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. The integrated piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impacts. Plan for roughly 24 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which lets you lift about 2 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X60SCA Is Used
Small Parts Ejection
Pushes lightweight plastic mouldings out of a machining fixture using a reliable 39.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Package Diverter Gate
Actuates a lightweight routing flap on a packaging line, where the stainless build withstands occasional washdowns.
Lab Sample Handling
Moves test tubes between stations with a 60 mm stroke, using the CMSG sensor to confirm exact positioning.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore unit against its neighbours, stepping down to the Ø8 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 25.1 N, whereas upgrading to the Ø16 raises it to 100.5 N. The 60 mm stroke is well within the 200 mm standard maximum, keeping the assembly compact. Because the CA pivot allows angular movement, ensure the rod does not experience severe side loading. Note that standard double-acting cylinders drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the load. For vertical applications requiring position holding, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 MI10X60SCA FAQ
This 10 mm bore cylinder generates 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 55 N push and 46.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses an M5x0.8 air port.
No, it uses fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end but are not an adjustable air cushion. It also does not hold its load if air is lost; the piston drifts. For holding, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
