About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X130U
Delivering 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 uses an M5x0.8 air port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. Because the barrel and rod are stainless, the riveted round body naturally resists mild corrosion in damp or washdown environments better than painted alternatives. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes to protect the mechanism.
For practical sizing, plan for about 34 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to safely lifting a 2.9 kg load vertically with a 2:1 margin. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port and mounting orientation for tight spaces. As this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X130U Is Used
Electronic Component Sorting
Pushes small electronic parts down a sorting chute using a safe 34 N working load at 0.5 MPa, with the 90-degree U cover keeping the footprint tight.
Blister Pack Forming
Indexes thin plastic film into a sealing press, where the stainless construction prevents mild corrosion from humid packaging environments.
Lab Sample Diverting
Actuates a diverter gate for specimen tubes, easily lifting the 2.9 kg mechanism vertically thanks to its 56.5 N push capacity at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X130U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this bore, dropping down to the Ø10 MI reduces the push force to 39.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø16 MI increases it to 100.5 N. This 130 mm stroke falls well within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for a Ø12 bore, keeping the rod stable. Keep in mind 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 and do not act as a lock. Use an external pilot check valve if you need to hold a vertical load.
The U-style rear cover mounts at 90 degrees, which helps route tubing cleanly in confined machinery. If your application requires position feedback, you must select the -S magnet variant to enable CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
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 MI12X130U FAQ
This Ø12 mm bore cylinder features an M5x0.8 air port. It generates a push force of 56.5 N and a pull force of 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa. 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for sensing capabilities. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard brackets and relies on fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable cushion.
