About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X115SCA
Delivering 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact automation with ease. The Ø12 mm bore features an M5x0.8 port and a 115 mm stroke, utilizing standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions so it drops directly into common mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
The rolled stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact, while the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 34 N, which means it can vertically lift roughly 2.9 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X115SCA Is Used
Electronic Component Sorting
Pushes small PCBs or microchips along a conveyor lane using its 56.5 N thrust and 115 mm travel distance.
Small Carton Flap Folding
Folds light cardboard flaps on a packaging line where the 2.9 kg vertical lift capacity easily handles the paper weight.
Lab Sample Diverting
Pivots via the CA clevis to sort test tubes into secondary bins, benefiting from the stainless build in humid lab settings.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X115SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare its 56.5 N push force at 0.5 MPa against the smaller Ø8 bore (25.1 N) and the larger Ø16 bore (100.5 N) to ensure you have the right thrust. The included CA rear pivot cover allows clevis mounting for angular movement, and the -S magnet enables position sensing. Because this is a 115 mm stroke, mind the rod bending forces if side-loading occurs.
Remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely during an outage, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated 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 MI12X115SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa, and pushes 79.1 N / pulls 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses an M5x0.8 air port.
Yes, the -S designation means it has a built-in piston magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The CA back cover provides a rear pivot/clevis interface for angular mounting flexibility.
