Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X95SU
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X95SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 95mm 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.

About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X95SU
Generating 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 95 mm stroke with a 6 mm piston rod. The integrated U-type back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation, simplifying hose routing in tight machinery. An M5x0.8 port supplies the air, while the built-in piston magnet allows seamless mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, offering a real advantage over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Its dimensions match the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 34 N of real work at 0.5 MPa; vertically, it lifts about 2.9 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the stroke-end impact to protect the mechanism.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X95SU Is Used
PCB Depaneling Gate
Actuates a lightweight routing gate for circuit board separation, utilizing the 56.5 N push force and 95 mm stroke to shift parts safely.
Blister Pack Flap Folder
Folds cardboard flaps on small pharmaceutical packaging lines, where the 90-degree U cover keeps air lines clear of the product flow.
Lab Reagent Dispenser
Drives a dosing probe in automated test equipment, relying on the stainless build to endure mildly humid laboratory environments.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI12X95SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 12 mm bore, stepping down to an 8 mm bore drops the push force to 25.1 N, whereas moving up to a 16 mm bore increases it to 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa. The 95 mm stroke is well within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, keeping the package compact. Because the rod drifts when air is lost or a valve is centred, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held in place. The U-type rear cover and standard mounting dimensions support easy integration alongside the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors enabled by the -S magnet.
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 MI12X95SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 79.1 N push and 59.4 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the air port is M5x0.8.
No, the piston drifts if air is lost or the valve is centred; you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, not an adjustable air cushion.
