The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X75SCALB is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 75mm 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.
Delivering 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 M5x0.8 air port and a Ø6 mm piston rod with an M6x1.0 male thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end, while the rolled riveted body keeps the unit light and compact.
Because the 56.5 N rating is theoretical, plan for a safe working load of about 34 N to overcome friction and ensure reliable motion. This translates to lifting roughly 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing, and the ISO 6432 mounting interface drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Pushes lightweight plastic moulded components out of an injection moulding cavity using a reliable 34 N working force.
Actuates a small routing gate on a packaging line, where the stainless build withstands occasional washdowns.
Holds delicate printed circuit boards in place during automated soldering using the precise 75 mm stroke.
When sizing this 75 mm stroke model, verify your payload falls near the 34 N safe working load limit. If your application requires less force, the smaller Ø10 bore provides 39.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa; for heavier duty, stepping up to the Ø16 bore yields 100.5 N. The included LB foot mount and rear CA pivot clevis offer flexible installation options for your frame.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centred, as the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. To suspend a vertical load securely during an emergency stop, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock. Additionally, the 75 mm stroke requires careful alignment to prevent side-loading and premature rod bending.
Quick checklist
This Ø12 mm bore cylinder features an M5x0.8 air 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.
Yes, the built-in magnet (-S) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The rear CA cover provides a pivot clevis interface, and combined with the ISO 6432 dimensions and included LB foot bracket, it offers versatile standard mounting.
