The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X40SU 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 riveted barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. A built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing.
Equipped with a 90-degree U back cover and a 1/8" port, it integrates cleanly into existing pneumatic setups. The fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact without offering adjustable cushioning. For practical sizing, plan for about 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 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.
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging conveyor, using its 245.3 N push force to redirect cartons weighing up to 12.5 kg reliably.
Secures aluminum extrusions at a machining center, utilizing the 90-degree U cover for compact mounting and the magnet for stroke confirmation.
Pushes completed metal fittings out of a die area, where the stainless build prevents corrosion from cutting fluids and ambient humidity.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, stepping down to a 20 mm bore drops the push force to 157 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 32 mm bore increases it to 402 N. This model includes the U back cover for 90-degree port orientation and the -S magnet for electronic or reed sensors. The 40 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, keeping the rod highly resistant to bending.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centers. The TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and do not function as a locking mechanism. To suspend a load safely during an air loss event, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245.3 N and the pull force is 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa, 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".
No, the piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. For vertical loads, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
