The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X20R is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 20mm 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, the AirTAC MI32X20R is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for compact, high-thrust tasks. Its stainless-steel barrel and piston rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it highly reliable in damp or washdown-prone environments compared to standard aluminium bodies. The 20 mm stroke strikes a balance for short clamping moves, and the rear R cover features an axial-in port to simplify tight plumbing layouts.
Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes without offering adjustable cushioning. For practical 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.

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.

| 0.7 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.
Executes brief 20 mm stamping and marking actions on light-gauge sheet metal, utilizing the 402.2 N push force to create clean indentations.
Pushes denser components off a conveyor belt in packaging lines, where the 32 mm bore provides enough thrust to move items without stalling.
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop gate for loaded pallets, relying on its stainless construction to endure humid warehouse conditions.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, dropping down to a 25 mm version reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N. The 1/4" port matches the bore's air demand, and the male M10x1.25 rod thread handles secure mechanical attachments. This short 20 mm stroke minimizes rod-bending side-load risks.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the TPU pads only soften the end-of-stroke impact and do not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely mid-cycle, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. If you require position feedback, select the -S magnet version instead of this non-sensing unit.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 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 force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must choose an MI32 variant with the -S suffix to use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches. Additionally, its fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as an adjustable air cushion.
