The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X25SU 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.
Generating 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 piston rod supply reliable mild-corrosion and washdown resistance, outperforming painted alternatives in damp environments. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing.
With its 90-degree U back cover, the 1/8 inch port orientation simplifies plumbing in tight machinery spaces. The riveted construction incorporates fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the piston at stroke end, reducing impact wear. 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.

| 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.
Provides the 402.2 N push force required to drive short-stroke stamping and marking dies in automated metal fabrication lines.
Actuates a robust routing flap on a high-speed logistics conveyor, easily handling the 20.5 kg vertical lift equivalent to pivot heavy assemblies.
Deploys a heavy physical stop to arrest pallets on a roller bed, utilizing the 90-degree U back cover for streamlined side-port plumbing.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the smaller Ø25 generates 245.3 N push while the larger Ø40 yields 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, giving you clear scaling boundaries. This short 25 mm stroke minimizes rod-bending side-load risks, making it ideal for high-force clamping over tiny distances. The included magnet supports electronic or reed sensors, and you can utilize LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion mounts.
Remember that the TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact; they do not function as a brake. If air pressure drops or the valve centers, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to safely suspend any vertical load.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch port and a Ø12 mm rod. 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 fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and act as neither a brake nor a lock. Because the piston drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a vertical load.
