About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X105SCA
Generating 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact automation tasks with ease. The Ø12 mm bore features an M5x0.8 port and a 105 mm stroke, fitting neatly into tight machinery. Its stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion, outperforming painted alternatives in damp environments. Riveted round-body construction keeps the unit light, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact at stroke ends.
This model includes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and a CA pivot clevis for articulated mounting. The ISO 6432 mounting interface ensures compatibility with standard mini-cylinder brackets. For practical use, plan for a safe working load of roughly 34 N, which equates to lifting about 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X105SCA Is Used
Electronic Component Sorting
Pushes small PCBs or connectors along a conveyor with 56.5 N of force, relying on the CA clevis to handle slight angular misalignment.
Small Carton Flap Folding
Folds light cardboard flaps on a packaging line where the stainless body withstands occasional washdowns and the 105 mm stroke clears the box path.
Lab Sample Diverting
Actuates a diverter gate for test tubes, lifting up to 2.9 kg safely while using the integrated magnet for precise end-of-stroke confirmation.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X105SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this Ø12 mm bore, stepping down to an Ø8 mm bore yields 25.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a Ø16 mm bore provides 100.5 N. The 105 mm stroke is well within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke limit, keeping the unit readily available without special ordering. The CA rear clevis accommodates pivoting loads, but remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops; use a pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load. Because the -S suffix is present, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position detection.
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 MI12X105SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 56.5 N and the pull force is 42.4 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 79.1 N and pull is 59.4 N. The theoretical maximum force is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is M5x0.8.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. To maintain a vertical position, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
