The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X40SCMFA 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 AirTAC mini cylinder handles substantial work in a compact footprint. The Ø25 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and a Ø10 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. Its stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel or aluminium minis in damp, food, or outdoor spots. The riveted round body keeps the unit light, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end.
Thanks to the built-in -S piston magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic switches directly for position sensing. The ISO 6432 mounting interface means it drops smoothly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Plan for roughly 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 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.
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line, using the 245.3 N thrust to push heavy cartons onto a secondary belt at high cycling rates.
Positions a tensioning roller in a humid textile facility, where the stainless-steel rod and barrel resist mild washdown corrosion better than standard aluminium bodies.
Deploys a 40 mm stroke stop block to halt incoming pallets on a gravity conveyor, safely absorbing the impact via the fixed TPU bumper pads.
When sizing this bore, the Ø20 model steps down to 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø32 jumps up to 402.2 N, so the Ø25 sits right in the middle for medium-force tasks. This specific SKU includes an FA flange for rigid front mounting and a CM round rear cover. Because the base MI relies on fixed TPU bumpers rather than an adjustable cushion, consider the MIC variable-cushion variant if your application runs at the top of the 30-800 mm/s speed range and needs gentler end-of-stroke deceleration.
Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the bumpers only soften the stroke end and do not act as a brake. If your machine requires the load to stay put during a pressure drop, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. With a 40 mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending stresses are minimal, but always ensure the FA flange alignment is true to prevent guide wear.
Quick checklist
This Ø25 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and a Ø10 mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The FA flange provides rigid front face mounting, while the CM round end cover offers a compact rear profile. It conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket interchange.
