The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X125SCM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/4" 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 stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles heavier automation tasks with ease. The Ø32 mm bore features a 1/4" port and a Ø12 mm piston rod, while the riveted construction ensures a compact footprint without sacrificing durability. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact energy at the stroke ends to protect internal components.
The integrated -S piston magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing, and the CM round end cover provides a clean rear closure. Because the stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, this actuator outlasts painted alternatives in damp environments. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which means it can lift about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

| 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 thrust to push parcels firmly into secondary sorting chutes.
Secures heavy cast iron blocks inside a machining center, providing reliable holding power throughout the milling cycle.
Drives a lifting platform to stack components, easily handling the 20.5 kg vertical load limit within its 125 mm travel.
When sizing this 125 mm stroke actuator, note that stepping down to the Ø25 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, whereas the larger Ø40 bore jumps to 628.3 N. This model includes the -S magnet for electronic or reed sensors, and the CM round end cover offers versatile rear mounting options. For applications needing adjustable end-cushioning at high speeds, consider the MIC variant instead of the fixed TPU bumpers found here.
Because a 125 mm stroke generates leverage, minimize side loads to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. Furthermore, the TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the end of travel; they do not function as a brake. If the machinery loses air pressure or the valve is centered, the rod will drift, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to suspend loads safely.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the piston at stroke end and do not act as a brake. If air is lost, the rod drifts. You must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a vertical load safely.
