About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X175SCALB
Delivering 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 175 mm stroke with a 6 mm rod. The riveted barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, outlasting painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Its M5x0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread keep the envelope compact.
Conforming to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. Plan for roughly 34 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, or expect it to lift about 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X175SCALB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Gate
Pushes a lightweight routing gate across 175 mm with precise 56.5 N force to separate printed circuit boards without stressing adjacent components.
Bin Divert Arm
Actuates a small sorting flap in distribution centers, relying on the stainless build to shrug off ambient humidity and dust.
Lab Sample Ejector
Kicks tested vials out of a carousel using the CA pivot mount, safely halting the 175 mm stroke via fixed TPU bumper pads.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X175SCALB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 12 mm bore, dropping down to an 8 mm bore limits you to 25.1 N push, while stepping up to a 16 mm bore provides 100.5 N. This SKU includes an LB foot mount and a CA rear pivot cover, offering flexible anchoring. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Air pressure both extends and retracts the rod, but a standard cylinder drifts if air is lost or the valve centers. The fixed TPU bumper pads only soften the stroke end rather than locking the load. To hold a vertical position securely, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated 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 MI12X175SCALB FAQ
This 12 mm bore cylinder features an M5x0.8 port and generates 56.5 N push / 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 79.1 N push / 59.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 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 CA back cover provides a rear pivot point for clevis mounting, and the included LB foot bracket allows rigid base mounting.
