The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X225SU 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, the AirTAC MI32X225SU is a robust double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding automation. Its stainless-steel barrel and Ø12 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it highly suitable for damp washdown environments where painted steel alternatives quickly degrade. The riveted construction remains compact while handling a 225 mm stroke, and fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact energy at both stroke ends.
This bore size uses a 1/8 inch air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread to support its higher force class. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which equates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The U-style 90-degree rear cover provides flexible mounting orientation, and because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

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.
Leveraging its 402.2 N push force to positively redirect heavy cartons on a 90-degree sorting conveyor line.
Securing aluminium extrusion profiles during CNC machining operations using the 225 mm stroke to clear the work zone.
Indexing loaded pallets into a stretch-wrap station where the stainless build resists ambient humidity and dust.
Sizing this 32 mm bore against its neighbours ensures the right fit: the smaller Ø25 generates 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø40 provides 628.3 N, so the MI32 sits comfortably in the mid-to-heavy force band. At a 225 mm stroke, keep the side-load minimal to prevent rod bending, as long strokes naturally amplify leverage on the front seal. The U back cover allows 90-degree pivot mounting, but remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is removed or a valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a lock. To suspend a load safely during an air loss event, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch air port and generates 402.2 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push / 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and 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 function as a brake. You must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
