The AirTAC Airtac B52-MI Copper-Free Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder B52-MI32X600SCM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 600mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
The B52-MI32X600SCM delivers 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa from its 32 mm bore, making it a solid choice for medium-duty automation tasks. This round-body, double-acting mini cylinder features a stainless-steel barrel and rod, offering mild corrosion resistance for damp or washdown environments. The leading "B52-" prefix marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build, designed for lines where copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems or certain battery and chemical plants.
With a 600 mm stroke, this unit exceeds the standard 500 mm maximum for 32 bores, so it is a made-to-order configuration. The fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston at stroke end, but they do not provide adjustable cushioning or any load-holding capability. For a practical vertical lift application, this cylinder can handle about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin, based on its 402.2 N push force. The 1/4" port ensures adequate flow for the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
The copper-free B52- build makes this cylinder suitable for actuating valves in ammonia-based industrial refrigeration systems where copper alloys would corrode or contaminate the process.
With 402 N push force, this unit can drive a small pressing or clamping operation in battery manufacturing, where copper-free materials are specified to prevent contamination of sensitive components.
The 600 mm stroke provides the travel needed to open and close a gate valve in a chemical processing line, while the stainless build resists mild corrosive splashes and washdown chemicals.
When sizing this cylinder, consider both the next smaller and larger options. The 25 MI series provides 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 MI series offers 628.3 N push at the same pressure. This 32 model sits between them, giving you a balanced force-to-size ratio for medium loads. Since the 600 mm stroke is non-standard, verify your mounting space and side-load conditions carefully, as longer strokes increase rod-bending risk. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection. The CM round back cover is already fitted, and you can choose from LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, or TC trunnion mounting options. Remember that this cylinder will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm cylinder produces 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, it produces 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with proof pressure at 1.5 MPa.
B52- indicates AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) construction, intended for applications where copper alloys are not allowed. Exact material substitutions should be confirmed with us. The -S suffix means this cylinder has a built-in piston magnet, so it is compatible with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The 600 mm stroke is non-standard, exceeding the 500 mm maximum for standard 32 models.
