The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X40SCM 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 tasks. The Ø25 bore uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel or aluminium minis in damp, food or outdoor environments. Built with fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, the riveted construction remains compact and light.
Because the code includes an S, this unit features a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. For actual work at 0.5 MPa, plan for roughly 147 N of usable load rather than the absolute maximum rating. In vertical lifting scenarios, this translates to safely hoisting about 12.5 kg with a 2:1 margin. The CM round end back cover provides a clean rear profile for tight installations.

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 reliably pivot a sorting gate arm, redirecting medium-weight cartons on a packaging line.
Lifts small stainless-steel fixtures weighing up to 12.5 kg in a washdown assembly cell, relying on the corrosion-resistant barrel.
Extends 40 mm to block incoming pallets at a packaging station, using the CM round end to fit neatly into the conveyor frame.
Sizing this actuator requires looking both ways: stepping down to the Ø20 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157.0 N, while upgrading to the Ø32 bore raises it to 402.2 N. This Ø25 model strikes a strong balance for medium-duty handling. It uses the ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interface, so it drops directly into standard brackets and clevises. You can also utilise LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion mounts.
Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred, as the TPU bumpers only soften the stroke end rather than acting as a brake. To hold a load securely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. With a 40 mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending stress remain minimal, but ensure the front mounting keeps the rod aligned for smooth operation.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/8" air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa it delivers 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the S in the model code denotes a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG electronic or reed switches directly to the body. For impact absorption, it relies on fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the piston at the stroke end; it does not feature an adjustable air cushion.
