About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X130CA
Generating 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact automation with ease. The Ø12 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 air port and a Ø6 mm piston rod with an M6x1.0 male thread. Because the barrel and rod are stainless, the riveted construction resists mild corrosion better than painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Integrated fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact to protect the mechanism.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting interface dimensions, the body drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises, simplifying spares. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 34 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The CA rear pivot cover allows articulated mounting. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X130CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Shifts a lightweight yarn guide across a 130 mm path, utilising the 56.5 N thrust to maintain positive tension without overstressing delicate threads.
Small Parts Sorting
Ejects small plastic components from a conveyor belt using the CA pivot mount to accommodate slight angular misalignment during the transfer cycle.
Lab Sample Ejector
Pushes prepared sample trays out of a testing bay, where the stainless-steel build holds up against occasional chemical splashes and routine wipe-downs.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X130CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 130 mm stroke unit, compare it against its neighbours: the smaller Ø10 bore yields 39.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø16 bore provides 100.5 N. Choose this Ø12 model when your application sits in that 40-60 N thrust band. The 130 mm stroke is well within the 250 mm maximum for this bore, keeping the rod stable without excessive side-load risk.
The CA back cover provides a rear clevis pivot for angular movement, but remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred. The TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end; they do not function as a lock or brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Additionally, because this configuration omits the -S magnet, adding position sensing requires switching to the magnet-equipped variant.
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 MI12X130CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features an M5x0.8 air port and generates 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the forces increase to 79.1 N push and 59.4 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the Ø12 mm body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, fitting standard clevises and brackets. However, this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; you would need the -S variant for position sensing.
