The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X230SU 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 heavier automation tasks with ease. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdowns, outperforming painted alternatives in damp environments. A 1/8" port supplies the 12 mm rod, while the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position detection.
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. The U-type back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight layouts. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impacts, and the 230 mm stroke falls well within the 500 mm maximum for this bore.

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.
Actuates routing gates on medium-duty packaging conveyors, using its 402.2 N push force to swing heavy cardboard cartons onto secondary lines.
Extends 230 mm to push tote bins or lightweight pallets into staging zones, benefiting from the stainless rod in humid warehouse coolers.
Drives mid-sized machining clamps holding aluminum castings, relying on the U-type back cover for compact 90-degree port routing.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the smaller 25 mm option provides 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N. This model hits a strong middle ground for medium-force tasks. Because the 230 mm stroke is relatively long, minimize side-loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
The integrated piston magnet allows seamless CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch mounting. Remember that air pressure alone cannot secure a load; if the valve is centered or air is lost, the piston will drift. For vertical or suspended loads, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and a 12 mm rod. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end; they do not act as a brake. You must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold suspended loads.
