Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X35SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X35SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø8mm bore and 35mm 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 MI8X35SCA
Generating 25.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles precise 35 mm strokes in tight spaces. The Ø8 mm bore uses an M5×0.8 port and a Ø4 mm piston rod with an M4×0.7 male thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel alternatives in damp or washdown environments. The riveted construction keeps the body compact, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact at the stroke ends.
For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 15 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) rather than the absolute maximum. This translates to lifting about 1.3 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it directly supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches. The CA back cover provides a pivot clevis mount, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket integration.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X35SCA Is Used
Micro Dispenser Gating
Actuates a tiny pneumatic flap on a glue dispensing head, using the 35 mm stroke to meter adhesive accurately without overloading the nozzle.
Lab Sample Diverting
Pivots a small CA-mounted sorting arm to route test tubes, relying on the stainless build to withstand daily chemical wipe-downs.
PCB Push-off Station
Ejects lightweight populated circuit boards from a test fixture, applying a safe 15 N working force that protects delicate solder joints.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X35SCA the Right Cylinder?
If 15 N of working force is too high for a delicate task, AirTAC does not offer a smaller bore in the MI series, so you would need to regulate the pressure down. If you need more push, stepping up to the Ø10 bore yields 39.3 N at 0.5 MPa. This CA clevis model is ideal for pivoting loads, but remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a lock. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a vertical load safely. The 35 mm stroke is well within the 150 mm maximum, keeping rod bending stress minimal.
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 MI8X35SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 25.1 N push and 18.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 35.2 N push and 26.4 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 5.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This Ø8 mm bore uses an M5×0.8 air port.
Yes. The -S in the model code indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches directly to the body for position detection.
