Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X10CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X10CA is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø8mm bore and 10mm 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 MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X10CA
Generating 12.3 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder uses an internal spring to push the rod out when idle. Applying compressed air to the M5x0.8 port retracts the rod, meaning the unit stays extended during an air loss to act as a fail-safe stop. Because it requires only one air line, it consumes less air than a double-acting actuator.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the 8 mm bore drops directly into standard mini brackets and clevises, including the CA rear pivot cover on this unit. The stainless barrel and Ø4 mm rod resist mild washdown corrosion. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of about 7 N, or roughly 0.6 kg of vertical pull with a 2:1 margin. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø8mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 12.3 N |

Where the Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X10CA Is Used
Fail-Safe Stop Gate
Keeps a lightweight guard extended over a small part opening by default; air pulls the gate open only when the cycle is ready.
Light Hold-Down
Holds thin material flat under spring pressure and retracts to release the stack when pressurized.
Micro Tensioner
Maintains steady tension on a fine wire or tape by resting extended, pulling back only to reset the loop.
Is the Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X10CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing by pull force, this 8 mm bore provides 12.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 19.9 N at 0.7 MPa. It is the smallest available option in the range, so if your load requires less than 7 N of safe working force, consider an external spring instead. Moving up, a 10 mm bore raises the 0.5 MPa pull to 23.2 N.
Remember that the spring requires at least 0.2 MPa of supply pressure to retract the rod. The 10 mm stroke sits well below the 50 mm spring limit for this bore. If you need position sensing, select the -S magnet variant, as this base model cannot accept a switch.
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 0.2 – 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 MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X10CA FAQ
It delivers a net pull force of 12.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 19.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The rod is normally extended at rest by an internal spring, and you must supply at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring and retract the rod.
No, this specific SKU does not have a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. It uses a fixed TPU bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.
