The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X85U is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 85mm 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, the AirTAC MI10X85U is a compact double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for tight spaces. Its stainless-steel barrel and Ø4 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it highly reliable in damp production zones where painted steel quickly degrades. The riveted construction keeps the body light, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke ends to protect your mechanism.
This 10 mm bore unit features an 85 mm stroke and uses an M5x0.8 port. Because it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Plan for a safe working load of about 24 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating), which means it can reliably lift a 2 kg component vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The rear U cover provides a 90-degree port orientation, simplifying hose routing in cramped enclosures.

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.
Pushes delicate printed circuit boards out of test fixtures with a controlled 39.3 N force, preventing damage during automated unloading.
Actuates a lightweight folding arm to tuck cardboard flaps on small retail boxes before the sealing station applies tape.
Pivots a small guide chute on a diagnostic analyser to route 2 kg fluid vials into the correct testing carousel.
When sizing this 39.3 N unit, compare it against the smaller Ø8 bore (25.1 N push) if your load is extremely light, or step up to the Ø12 bore (56.5 N push) if you need extra thrust. The 85 mm stroke is well within the 200 mm maximum for this bore, but long strokes still demand careful alignment to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches; choose an -S variant if you require electronic stroke confirmation.
Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centred. The TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the end of travel and do not function as a braking lock. To suspend a load safely during an emergency stop, fit an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
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 force is 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8 and the male rod thread is M4x0.7.
No, this specific SKU does not have a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select the -S magnet variant for position sensing. It uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions and features a 90-degree U back cover for flexible porting.
