About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X75SCALB
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.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X75SCALB Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Pushes lightweight plastic moulded components out of an injection moulding cavity using a reliable 34 N working force.
Package Diverting
Actuates a small routing gate on a packaging line, where the stainless build withstands occasional washdowns.
PCB Clamp Assembly
Holds delicate printed circuit boards in place during automated soldering using the precise 75 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X75SCALB the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 MI12X75SCALB FAQ
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.
