About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X190U
Delivering 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles light-duty positioning with ease. The 12 mm bore features an M5x0.8 port and a 190 mm stroke, utilizing a 90-degree U rear cover for compact, side-exit mounting in tight spaces. Its stainless barrel and piston rod naturally resist mild corrosion and washdown, outperforming painted alternatives in damp environments.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Plan for a safe working load of about 34 N, which lets you lift roughly 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact, though this SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X190U Is Used
Electronic Component Sorting
Pushes lightweight PCB trays along a conveyor with its 56.5 N thrust, while the 190 mm stroke reaches across the sorting lane.
Package Diverting Gate
Actuates a lightweight routing flap for small parcels, utilizing the 90-degree U cover to keep the mounting footprint tight against the frame.
Lab Sample Ejection
Ejects plastic test tubes from a testing carousel, where the stainless construction holds up against occasional chemical splashes.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X190U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 56.5 N (at 0.5 MPa) unit, consider stepping down to the Ø8 bore for 25.1 N tasks, or up to the Ø16 bore for 100.5 N if your payload increases. The 190 mm stroke is well within the 250 mm maximum for this bore, but at this length you must carefully manage side loading to prevent rod bending. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, position sensing is impossible without upgrading to an -S variant.
Remember that venting the air supply causes the piston to drift, as the fixed TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. To suspend a vertical load safely during an air loss event, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve in the line.
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 MI12X190U FAQ
This 12 mm bore 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 specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches cannot be used. You must select an -S variant to enable position sensing.
