About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X75CA
Generating 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact automation tasks with ease. The Ø12 mm bore features an M5×0.8 port and a 75 mm stroke, utilizing a CA pivot clevis back cover for straightforward angular mounting. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp environments.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the riveted round body drops seamlessly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impacts without adding bulk. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 34 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X75CA Is Used
Pick-and-Place Pivot
Ideal for small assembly machines using the CA clevis to swing and place light electronic components within a 75 mm travel range.
Flap Folder Mechanism
Provides the 56.5 N push needed to fold light cardboard packaging flaps on a moderate-speed packing line.
Lab Sample Dispenser
The stainless construction survives wipe-down protocols in lab automation, accurately dispensing vials without mild corrosion issues.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X75CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 75 mm stroke unit, note the Ø8 mm bore below offers 25.1 N of push, while the Ø16 mm bore above provides 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches; choose an -S variant if sensing is required. The 75 mm stroke is well within the 250 mm maximum, but watch for side loads that could bend the Ø6 mm rod.
Remember that the TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not function as a brake. If the mechanism must hold a vertical load when air is removed or the valve is centered, the piston will drift; integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to prevent movement.
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 MI12X75CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers 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, and the air port is M5×0.8.
The Ø12 mm body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket integration. However, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches; you must select an -S variant for position sensing.
