The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X75SUFA 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 actuation with ease. The Ø12 mm bore features an M5×0.8 port and a 75 mm stroke, utilizing a riveted round-body design that shrinks footprint while resisting mild corrosion in damp environments. Equipped with a U 90-degree rear cover, it offers flexible port and mounting orientation for tight spaces.
Because it carries an -S suffix, the internal piston magnet is ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Plan for a real working load of roughly 34 N, which translates to lifting about 2.9 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact, and the ISO 6432 mounting interface ensures it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets.

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.
Uses the 56.5 N push stroke to knock lightweight plastic mouldings off a conveyor without damaging the part surface.
Pivots a small guide flap via the U 90-degree back cover to sort small hardware on a packaging line.
The stainless construction survives humid laboratory environments while positioning sample trays with CMSG sensors.
When sizing this bore, stepping down to the Ø10 version drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 39.3 N, while moving up to the Ø16 raises it to 100.5 N. This model includes an FA flange accessory for secure front mounting, and the integrated magnet enables precise position sensing. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake, so specify an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a load.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 79.1 N push and 59.4 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5×0.8.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a lock. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
