About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X95SCA
Generating 25.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder suits compact pneumatics. The riveted Ø8 mm barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp environments. It operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
Featuring a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, the unit accepts an M5x0.8 port and a 95 mm stroke. Plan for roughly 15 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts about 1.3 kg vertically. The CA pivot back cover allows direct clevis mounting.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X95SCA Is Used
Gripper Actuation
Drives small pneumatic grippers on pick-and-place units where a 1.3 kg vertical lift margin is sufficient.
Lab Dispense Valve
Toggles low-force fluid valves in analytical equipment, benefiting from the washdown-resistant stainless build.
Component Ejection
Pushes tiny molded parts out of machining fixtures using the 95 mm stroke and M4x0.7 rod thread.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI8X95SCA the Right Cylinder?
As the smallest bore in the series, there is no smaller MI option; if you need more power, the Ø10 bore raises push force to 39.3 N at 0.5 MPa. Because the standard bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end, expect the piston to drift if air is lost—add an external pilot check valve if you must hold a vertical load. The integrated -S magnet enables position sensing, while the CA rear cover provides a pivot point for angular movement.

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 MI8X95SCA FAQ
It delivers 25.1 N push and 18.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 35.2 N push and 26.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 5.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5x0.8.
Yes, the Ø8 mm body uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini-cylinder clevises. The -S suffix means it has a piston magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
