The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X65U is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 65mm 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.
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles light-duty positioning with a 65 mm stroke. The riveted barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp production areas. It features a 90-degree U back cover and an M5x0.8 port.
Because the bore generates 39.3 N at 0.5 MPa, you can plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N, which equates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The Ø10 mm body uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without switching to the -S variant.

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.
Deflects lightweight PCBs and resistors on a conveyor using a 65 mm stroke, where the 39.3 N push force easily moves delicate parts without crushing them.
Pivots a 90-degree U cover arm to tuck end flaps on small pharmaceutical boxes, relying on the stainless build to withstand occasional washdown.
Pushes plastic test tubes out of a centrifuge carousel, lifting roughly 2 kg of combined tube weight vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.
When sizing this 10 mm bore, stepping down is not an option as it is the smallest standard MI, while stepping up to the Ø12 bore raises the push force to 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa. If your machine loses air or the valve centres, this plain cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load; the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than acting as a brake. For secure positioning, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
The 90-degree U back cover suits compact pivot mounts, and you can pair the body with LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion hardware. With a 65 mm stroke, keep side loads minimal to avoid bending the Ø4 mm piston rod. If you need position feedback, select the -S magnet version to enable reed or solid-state switches.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 39.3 N push and 33 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 55 N push and 46.1 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8 and the male rod thread is M4x0.7.
This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; you need the -S variant for sensing. However, the Ø10 mm round body uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, so it drops into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises seamlessly.
