The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X15SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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, the AirTAC MI32X15SU is a compact round-body mini cylinder built for heavy-duty actuation in tight spaces. The stainless-steel barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it highly suitable for damp or washdown-prone environments where painted steel alternatives quickly degrade. A built-in piston magnet allows seamless integration with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic switches for precise position detection.
This double-acting actuator features a brief 15 mm stroke and a 1/8" port, driven by a robust Ø12 mm piston rod. It relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the impact at stroke ends rather than adjustable air cushions. For real-world sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which translates to lifting about 20.5 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.
Short 15 mm stroke provides rapid pin ejection in automated metal stamping presses, using the 402.2 N push force to clear parts reliably.
Secures heavy workpieces in machining fixtures where a compact footprint is required, taking advantage of the U cover for tidy 90-degree port routing.
Drives stiff cardboard flaps on high-speed packaging lines, relying on the stainless construction to withstand humid or washdown cleaning cycles.
Choosing this 32 mm bore means you require substantial force in a very short travel distance. If your application needs less punch, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa; conversely, moving up to the 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N for heavier resistance. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation, which helps route hoses cleanly in confined machinery.
Because the stroke is only 15 mm, side-load stress on the rod remains minimal, though you should still ensure rigid mounting. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and act purely as decelerators, never as a holding brake. To suspend a load safely during an outage, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and a Ø12 mm rod. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a locking brake. You must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
