About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X75CA
Delivering 25.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact automation tasks with a 75 mm stroke. The Ø8 mm round-body barrel and rod are riveted and rolled, shrugging off mild corrosion better than painted alternatives in damp production areas. Its ISO 6432 mounting dimensions let you drop it straight into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Equipped with a rear CA pivot clevis and an M5x0.8 port, the unit swings smoothly on articulated joints. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impacts to protect internal components. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; add the -S variant if you need position detection. For real work, plan for roughly 15 N of usable load at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 1.3 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X75CA Is Used
Micro Dispenser Dosing
Actuates a 1.3 kg fluid valve head on a benchtop adhesive dispenser, using the 75 mm stroke to clear the nozzle between shots.
Small Parts Diverter
Pushes lightweight plastic caps off a packaging line at 25.1 N push force, pivoting via the CA clevis to match the belt angle.
Lab Sample Ejector
Ejects filled test tubes from a centrifuge carousel, relying on the stainless build to withstand humid laboratory environments.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X75CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 8 mm bore, stepping up to the Ø10 model raises push force to 39.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while no smaller AirTAC MI bore exists below it. The 75 mm stroke sits well within the 150 mm standard limit, keeping the rod stable without excessive bending. The rear CA pivot cover suits articulated mechanisms, but remember that venting the air supply causes the piston to drift—a plain cylinder does not lock the load. Use an external pilot-operated check valve if you need to suspend a weight mid-stroke. Without the -S suffix, magnetic sensing is unavailable.
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 MI8X75CA 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, and the air port is M5x0.8.
Yes, the rear CA cover provides a pivot clevis, and the Ø8 body uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions. However, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches.
