Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X95CALB
The AirTAC Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X95CALB is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø8mm 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 MI8X95CALB
Delivering 25.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact actuation with a 95 mm stroke. The riveted round-body construction pairs a corrosion-resistant barrel and rod with fixed TPU bumper pads that absorb end-of-stroke impact. Because the bore is Ø8, it uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder clevises and brackets. Air connects via an M5×0.8 port, and the male rod features an M4×0.7 thread.
For real-world sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 15 N rather than the absolute maximum, which translates to lifting about 1.3 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches. The rear CA pivot cover and included LB foot bracket supply flexible mounting options for tight spaces.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X95CALB Is Used
Micro-clip insertion
Pushes small spring clips into PCB assemblies with a 15 N working load, using the 95 mm stroke to clear nearby components.
Lightweight diverter gate
Pivots a small aluminum flap on a packaging conveyor to sort small envelopes, taking advantage of the CA rear clevis.
Lab sample ejection
Ejects 1.3 kg plastic test tube racks from a testing carousel, relying on the stainless body for mild washdown resistance.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X95CALB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 8 mm bore, the next step up is the Ø12 class, which jumps to 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa; there is no smaller standard MI bore below 8 mm. If your mechanism relies on gravity or loses air, remember the piston will drift and drop the load, as the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. You would need an external pilot check valve to hold position. The 95 mm stroke is well within the 150 mm standard limit, though side loading should still be minimized to protect the 4 mm rod.
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 MI8X95CALB 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. The air port is M5×0.8 and the male rod thread is M4×0.7.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches cannot be fitted. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface and includes a CA pivot back cover with an LB foot bracket.
