The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X80SCALB is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 80mm 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 compact automation tasks with ease. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 air port and an M4x0.7 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing, while the fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end. With a 39.3 N push rating, plan for about 24 N of real work at 0.5 MPa. This equates to lifting roughly 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, making it highly practical for light part handling.

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.
Ideal for pushing lightweight PCBs or resistors on a test fixture, utilising the 39.3 N push force to index parts without causing surface damage.
The 80 mm stroke and roughly 2 kg vertical lift capacity are perfect for tucking small cardboard flaps on a compact packaging line prior to sealing.
Stainless construction withstands mildly humid laboratory environments, ejecting vial racks from testing stations using the integrated LB foot mount.
When sizing this 80 mm stroke model, compare it against neighbouring bores: the smaller Ø8 generates 25.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the larger Ø12 provides 56.5 N. This unit includes a CA rear pivot cover and an LB foot mounting bracket for secure base fixing. Because it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only soften the end of stroke and do not function as a brake. To suspend a load safely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Additionally, the 80 mm stroke requires careful alignment to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
This Ø10 mm bore cylinder features 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 -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. The cylinder uses fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the piston at the stroke end; it does not feature adjustable air cushioning.
