Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X10SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X10SCA 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 MTI8X10SCA
Generating 12.3 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder uses an internal spring to stay extended at rest. Air applied to the M5x0.8 port retracts the rod, making it ideal for hold-downs that must remain engaged if air pressure drops. Because it rests extended, it acts as a fail-safe forward stop without consuming continuous air.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting interface standards, the Ø8 mm barrel and Ø4 mm rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It yields a safe working load of about 7 N, which translates to lifting or holding roughly 0.6 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensing.

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 MTI8X10SCA Is Used
Fail-Safe Hold-Down
Keeps light parts clamped in place by spring force, releasing only when 0.2 MPa air retracts the rod.
Tension Gate Return
Holds a lightweight guide gate normally closed, pulling it open briefly via the 12.3 N pneumatic force.
Small Part Ejector
Stays extended to block tiny components on a conveyor, retracting to drop them into a sorting bin.
Is the Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X10SCA the Right Cylinder?
Size this actuator strictly by its retract force. If 12.3 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, step up to the Ø10 bore which provides 23.2 N; there is no smaller standard bore below Ø8. You must supply at least 0.2 MPa of air to overcome the return spring and pull the rod back.
This 10 mm stroke sits well within the 50 mm spring limit for Ø8 bores. It features a CA rear pivot cover for clevis mounting, and the integrated magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke confirmation.
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 MTI8X10SCA FAQ
It provides 12.3 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 19.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The rod rests extended and requires at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal spring and retract.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. It is single-acting spring-return, not double-acting.
