About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X150CA
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 uses an M5x0.8 air port and a Ø6 mm piston rod with an M6x1.0 male thread. Its round-body, riveted construction relies on a stainless barrel and rod that shrug off mild corrosion better than painted alternatives in damp environments.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. The rear CA clevis allows pivoting articulation, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impacts. 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 MI12X150CA Is Used
Gate Diverters
Actuates lightweight sorting flaps on packaging conveyors where the CA pivot mount accommodates the swing arc.
Lab Sample Ejectors
Pushes prepared test tubes out of a carousel using a corrosion-resistant stainless rod that withstands daily washdowns.
Small Part Ejection
Provides the 56.5 N stroke needed to eject molded plastic components from an assembly fixture.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X150CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 12 mm bore, stepping down to an Ø8 unit drops the output to 25.1 N push, whereas moving up to a Ø16 bore raises it to 100.5 N. Because this 150 mm stroke is relatively long for a mini cylinder, minimize side-loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. The CA rear pivot mount is ideal for articulating linkages but note that air loss will cause the piston to drift; use a pilot check valve if you need to suspend a load safely.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. If your application requires end-of-stroke detection, select the -S variant instead.
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 MI12X150CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features an M5x0.8 port. 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.
No, this SKU lacks the internal magnet required for switches. You must choose an MI12 model with the -S suffix to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The unit uses fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable air cushion.
