Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X35SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X35SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 35mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.

About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X35SCA
Delivering 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MI12X35SCA is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for compact automation. Its stainless-steel barrel and Ø6 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown-prone environments. The riveted construction keeps the body light, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes without offering adjustable cushioning. Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG position switches.
Because it uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, this Ø12 mm unit drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Plan for about 34 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 2.9 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. The CA rear cover provides an integrated pivot for articulated mechanisms, and air connects via an M5x0.8 port.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X35SCA Is Used
Pick-and-Place Ejector
Uses the 56.5 N push force to knock lightweight molded plastic parts out of an injection mould tool onto a conveyor belt.
Lab Sample Divertor
Leverages the stainless-steel construction and CA pivot mount to push test tubes between processing stations in a damp laboratory setting.
Small Component Sorter
Actuates a 35 mm stroke gating arm to separate small electronic resistors on a high-speed assembly line.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X35SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 35 mm stroke unit, verify your motion requirements against the 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull figures at 0.5 MPa. If your payload is lighter, stepping down to the Ø10 bore yields 39.3 N of push force; for heavier drives, the Ø16 bore jumps to 100.5 N. The CA clevis mount on this specific unit is perfect for pivoting linkages, and the -S magnet allows seamless sensor integration.
Remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred—the TPU bumpers only decelerate the end of stroke and act as neither a brake nor a lock. 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 MI12X35SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder generates 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 79.1 N push and 59.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features an M5x0.8 air port.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed and electronic switches directly to the body for position detection.
