The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X75SCASDB 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 round-body mini cylinder handles compact automation tasks with ease. The Ø12 mm bore operates on an M5x0.8 air port and integrates a CA pivot clevis with an SDB pivot-block for articulated mounting. Its riveted stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it far superior to painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
Because it carries an -S suffix, the piston includes a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. Plan for roughly 34 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to ensure smooth cycling, which translates to lifting about 2.9 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. The stroke-end impact is softened by fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the piston without the tuning hassle of an adjustable cushion.

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.
Deploys a 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa to press connectors onto PCBs, using the -S magnet and DMSG sensor to verify exact 75 mm extension before retracting.
Articulates via the CA clevis and SDB block to tuck packaging flaps on a moving conveyor, relying on fixed TPU bumpers to absorb the stroke-end impact without crushing the carton.
Leverages the stainless-steel barrel to resist mild corrosion in wet laboratory settings, accurately pushing a 2.9 kg vertical sample rack through its 75 mm travel.
When sizing this 75 mm stroke unit, verify your payload against the 42.4 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. If the job needs less push, the Ø10 bore provides 39.3 N; stepping up to the Ø16 bore yields 100.5 N for heavier resistance. The Ø12 bore adheres to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, so it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing and pairs naturally with the CA rear pivot cover and SDB block. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred—the bumpers only soften the stroke end, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a suspended load. On a 75 mm stroke, keep the guide alignment true to prevent side-loading and rod bending.
Quick checklist
This Ø12 mm bore cylinder features an M5x0.8 air port and generates 56.5 N push / 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 79.1 N push / 59.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. The CA back cover provides a rear pivot point, which pairs with the included SDB pivot-block for articulated mounting on machines requiring angular alignment.
