About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X130SU
Delivering 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles precise 130 mm strokes. The Ø12 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 air port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke ends to protect the mechanism.
Because the 56.5 N rating is theoretical, plan for a safe working load of about 34 N of real work at 0.5 MPa. Vertically, it lifts roughly 2.9 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing, while the U back cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X130SU Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Pushes a 130 mm carriage to separate routed circuit boards with a controlled 34 N working force.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Stainless construction survives humid lab environments while driving a 2.9 kg vertical fluid valve assembly.
Small Carton Flap Folder
Extends 130 mm to tuck lightweight cardboard flaps, relying on fixed TPU pads to soften the end stop.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X130SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this bore, verify your motion requirements against the smaller Ø10 bore, which provides 39.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or the larger Ø16 bore, which outputs 100.5 N. This 130 mm stroke is well within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for the Ø12 bore. For longer extensions, watch out for side-loading and rod-bending forces. The U rear cover dictates a 90-degree port and mounting plane.
Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. Use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a load securely in place.
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 MI12X130SU FAQ
This Ø12 mm bore cylinder features an M5x0.8 air port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It generates 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 79.1 N push and 59.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. The U back cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation. The cylinder also conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for standard mini brackets.
