The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X160SCMLB is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm 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 substantial actuation tasks. The stainless-steel barrel and rod provide reliable mild corrosion resistance, outperforming painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. It features a 1/8" port and a 160 mm stroke.
With fixed TPU bumper pads decelerating the piston at stroke ends, the riveted construction remains compact. The built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 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 thrust to push dense parcels onto secondary sorting lanes.
Serves as a robust end-stop in a low-profile pallet handling cell, relying on the stainless build to endure occasional washdowns.
Drives a pivoting clamp to secure metal workpieces during CNC milling, safely operating within the 241 N working load limit.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the smaller Ø25 generates 245.3 N push while the larger Ø40 yields 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, helping you bracket the exact force needed. This SKU includes an LB foot mount and a CM round rear cover for stable base mounting. Because the -S magnet is present, you can directly fit CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the TPU bumpers only soften the end of stroke rather than locking the load. For vertical or suspended loads that must hold position, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. At 160 mm, ensure your guiding structure handles side loads to prevent rod bending.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. 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 drifts if air is lost and the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the load; use an external rod lock for holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors, while the LB foot and CM round cover provide base mounting.
