The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X230SCM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 230mm 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 within a compact footprint. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø12 mm piston rod provide excellent mild corrosion and washdown resistance, outperforming painted alternatives in damp or food-processing environments. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables seamless integration with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed and electronic switches for precise end-of-stroke detection.
The 230 mm stroke operates at speeds between 30-800 mm/s, relying on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the impact at stroke ends. Featuring a 1/8 inch air port and a male M10x1.25 rod thread, it is engineered for rigorous cycles. 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.

| 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.
Deploys a 230 mm stroke to push heavy packaged goods cleanly across a transfer junction on a stainless washdown conveyor line.
Generates 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to secure aluminium extrusions firmly during CNC machining operations.
Raises 20 kg material bins vertically using the safe working load capacity, aided by the integrated magnet for position feedback.
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, consider the neighbouring bores: stepping down to the Ø25 yields 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø40 provides 628.3 N. This model includes a CM round end back cover and supports LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion mounts. Because it lacks an adjustable air cushion, high-speed cycles rely entirely on the fixed TPU pads.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred, as the bumpers only soften the stroke end and do not act as a brake. To suspend a vertical load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Additionally, the 230 mm stroke demands careful alignment to prevent rod-bending side loads.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa it delivers 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the directional valve is centred. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a locking brake. For vertical load holding, you must fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
