The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X25SR is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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 stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles substantial work in compact spaces. The Ø32 bore operates with a 1/8" port and a Ø12 mm piston rod. Its riveted stainless construction resists mild corrosion and washdown, outperforming painted alternatives in damp environments. Equipped with an R axial-in rear cover, it routes plumbing cleanly along the axis.
The integrated piston magnet (-S) directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact energy at the stroke extremes, operating smoothly across a 30-800 mm/s speed range. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 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.
Uses the 402.2 N push force to eject stamped metal pins from a die block rapidly over the 25 mm stroke.
Deploys a heavy-duty diverter arm on a packaging line to sort dense cartons via the R axial-in port configuration.
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop gate for loaded pallets, relying on the stainless body to endure industrial wear.
When sizing this 25 mm stroke actuator, compare it against adjacent bores: the Ø25 generates 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø40 provides 628.3 N. If your application exceeds the 241 N safe working load, stepping up to the Ø40 is advisable. Conversely, lighter duties can save space by dropping to the Ø25.
Because the base MI relies on air pressure to maintain position, the piston will drift if supply is lost or the valve is centered—the TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and act purely as deceleration pads, never as a locking mechanism. To suspend a load securely during an outage, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. For high-cycle automation requiring end-stroke speed tuning, consider the MIC variable cushion variant instead of these fixed pads.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/8" port and a Ø12 mm rod. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. However, it does not hold loads if air pressure drops; the piston drifts and the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end. Use an external rod lock for position holding.
