About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X30SCASDB
Delivering 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles compact actuation with ease. The Ø12 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 air port and a Ø6 mm piston rod with an M6x1.0 male thread. Because the barrel and rod are stainless, the riveted construction resists mild corrosion better than painted alternatives in damp processing areas. The built-in -S piston magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed and electronic switches for position sensing.
The stroke-end impact is softened by fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the piston without the tuning complexity of an adjustable air cushion. Conforming to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, this 30 mm stroke unit drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X30SCASDB Is Used
Electronic Component Sorting
Actuates a 30 mm diverter gate on a PCB conveyor, using the -S magnet and a DMSG sensor to confirm gate position and route boards at high speed.
Small Pouch Sealing Jig
Provides a steady 34 N of working force to clamp a thin film sealing bar, with the stainless barrel resisting adhesive residue and washdown.
Lab Sample Ejection
Pushes lightweight vial racks out of a testing carousel, where the CA clevis and SDB pivot block absorb slight misalignments during the ejection arc.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X30SCASDB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 12 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: a 10 mm bore gives 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 16 mm bore yields 100.5 N. This model includes a CA pivot clevis back cover and an SDB pivot-block accessory, providing articulated mounting for applications requiring alignment compensation. The -S magnet equips the cylinder for sensor integration, whereas a standard SKU without the S suffix cannot accept position switches.
Remember that a basic double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is removed or the control valve centres, as the fixed TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact rather than locking the rod. To suspend a load safely during an air loss event, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. For this 30 mm stroke, side-load stress on the Ø6 mm rod remains minimal, but always verify that your SDB pivot block is aligned to prevent 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 MI12X30SCASDB FAQ
This 12 mm bore cylinder features an M5x0.8 air port and delivers a push force of 56.5 N and a pull force of 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 79.1 N and the pull to 59.4 N. The theoretical maximum force is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the base MI uses fixed TPU bumper pads that merely decelerate the piston at the stroke end; it does not feature an adjustable air cushion like the MIC variant. However, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors, and its ISO 6432 mounting dimensions ensure standard bracket compatibility.
