The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X225SR is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 225mm 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 heavy-duty linear motion with a 225 mm stroke. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø12 mm rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp environments. Because it carries a built-in magnet (-S), you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.
For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N rather than the absolute maximum. This translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/8" port feeds air efficiently, while the R back cover provides an axial-in port orientation. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke ends, and the rolled riveted body keeps the unit compact.

| 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.
Pushes heavy cardboard cartons off a main packaging line using the 402.2 N push force, with the 225 mm stroke clearing the belt edge completely.
Maintains consistent fabric tension in humid dyeing areas where the stainless-steel round body prevents rust buildup better than standard painted cylinders.
Swings a 20 kg access gate open and closed on an assembly floor, safely operating within the 20.5 kg vertical lift capacity and 2:1 safety margin.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: a 25 mm bore gives 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N. If your application loses air or the valve centres, the piston will drift and drop the load, as the TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking it. To hold a suspended weight securely, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. For high-speed cycles requiring adjustable deceleration, step up to the MIC variable cushion variant.
With a 225 mm stroke, watch out for side-loading and rod bending forces. Mounting options like LB foot brackets, FA flanges, SDB pivot blocks, or TC trunnions help absorb misalignment. The rear R cover uses an axial port layout to save space along the cylinder axis.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air 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 will drift if air is lost or the valve is centred. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. You must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
