About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X135SCA
Generating 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact actuation with ease. The Ø12 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 port and a Ø6 mm piston rod, while the 135 mm stroke falls well within the 250 mm standard limit. Its round-body, riveted construction pairs a stainless barrel and rod to resist mild corrosion in damp or washdown environments better than painted alternatives.
Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The rear CA clevis mount provides pivot articulation, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for straightforward bracket integration. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact. Plan for roughly 34 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 2.9 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X135SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Shifts a lightweight thread guide arm across a 135 mm path using 56.5 N of push force, with the stainless body resisting humid textile mill air.
Carton Flap Folder
Pivots via the CA clevis to tuck small cardboard flaps, relying on the -S magnet and a DMSG sensor to confirm fold completion.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Actuates a 2.9 kg vertical fluid valve assembly in a compact testing station, where the M5x0.8 port keeps the pneumatic footprint minimal.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X135SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 56.5 N (0.5 MPa) unit, stepping down to the Ø10 bore drops push force to 39.3 N, while moving up to the Ø16 bore increases it to 100.5 N. The CA rear clevis suits pivoting loads, but remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a lock or brake. For suspended or vertical loads that must hold position, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. With a 135 mm stroke, ensure the front and rear mounts are aligned to prevent rod side-loading and premature seal wear.
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 MI12X135SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 79.1 N push and 59.4 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This Ø12 mm bore model uses an M5x0.8 air port and a Ø6 mm rod with an M6x1.0 male thread.
No, a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and act as neither a lock nor a brake. You will need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load. This specific SKU includes a CA pivot clevis back cover and a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
