The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X40CM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 40mm stroke, 1/8" 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.
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles robust actuation in tight spaces. The riveted barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp environments. With a 40 mm stroke, it yields a practical safe working load of roughly 147 N, which translates to lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the Ø25 body drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. This specific SKU features a CM round rear cover and uses a 1/8 inch port. It relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end. Note that because this model lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic sensors.

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.
Uses the 245.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa to eject small stamped metal pins from a die plate reliably.
Actuates a short 40 mm diverter arm on a packaging line, leveraging the stainless build for washdown resistance.
Folds corrugated box flaps prior to taping, where the 12.5 kg vertical lift capacity easily overcomes cardboard resistance.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, the smaller Ø20 generates 157.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger non-ISO Ø32 provides 402.2 N. This makes the MI25X40CM the ideal middle ground for medium-force clamping. The 40 mm stroke keeps the rod compact, minimizing side-load bending risks. If your process requires position feedback, select the -S magnet version instead, as this base unit cannot host a sensor.
The CM round end cover dictates a specific rear mounting orientation. Remember that venting the air or centering the valve causes the piston to drift, as the TPU bumpers only soften end impacts rather than locking the load. For suspended loads, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 343.4 N and pull is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is 1/8 inch.
No, because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for position sensing. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads, not an adjustable air cushion.
