The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X100U is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavier automation tasks with confidence. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod supply mild corrosion resistance, performing reliably in damp or washdown environments where painted alternatives degrade. Its riveted construction remains compact, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impacts to protect the mechanism.
Featuring a 1/8" port and a 90-degree U back cover for versatile routing, the unit operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches without upgrading to an -S variant. For real-world sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which equates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. Note: the Ø32 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.

| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 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.
Actuates a heavy routing flap on a logistics conveyor, using the 402.2 N push force to redirect packed cartons smoothly at high throughput speeds.
Opens and closes a large-bore fluid dispensing valve on a bottling line, relying on the stainless construction to withstand daily washdowns.
Drives a mechanical pin press for automotive subassembly, safely moving within the 241 N working load range to seat metal components precisely.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to a 25 mm model reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, whereas moving up to a 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N. This SKU includes a 90-degree U back cover, so ensure your layout accommodates the side-exit port orientation. The 100 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard, keeping the assembly rigid and minimizing rod-bending risks under typical loads.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the end of travel and do not function as a braking mechanism. To suspend a load securely during an air failure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and a 12 mm rod. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select an -S variant of the MI series to enable magnetic sensing capabilities.
