About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X150SU
Generating 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact automation with ease. The riveted round-body construction pairs a corrosion-resistant barrel and Ø6 mm rod, surviving damp environments better than painted alternatives. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets, and the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.
Equipped with a 90-degree U back cover for flexible port orientation, it operates at 30-800 mm/s. Plan for roughly 34 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain efficiency, which translates to lifting about 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impacts, while the M5x0.8 port supplies air efficiently.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X150SU Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Pushes lightweight plastic mouldings out of a machining fixture using 56.5 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa.
Package Diverting
Actuates a 150 mm stroke flap to sort small cartons on a conveyor line without rusting in humid packing zones.
Lab Sample Handling
Extends to move test tubes between stations, relying on the stainless build and 90-degree U cover for tight lab benches.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X150SU the Right Cylinder?
If 56.5 N is excessive for your fixture, step down to the Ø10 bore providing 39.3 N; if pushing heavier jigs, step up to the Ø16 bore yielding 100.5 N. This 150 mm stroke is well within the 250 mm maximum for this bore. Remember that venting the valve lets the piston drift freely, as the TPU pads only decelerate the end of travel rather than locking the load. For vertical positioning, add an external pilot check valve.
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 MI12X150SU FAQ
It delivers 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 79.1 N push and 59.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. It features a 90-degree U back cover and conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for standard brackets.
