The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X270CM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 270mm 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 heavier automation tasks with a 270 mm stroke. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø12 mm piston rod provide reliable mild corrosion resistance, performing better in damp environments than painted alternatives. Air extends and retracts the rod through a 1/8" port, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at each stroke end.
Because the 402.2 N rating is a theoretical maximum, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N to account for friction and pressure drops. In vertical lifting scenarios, this translates to hoisting about 20.5 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. The CM round end back cover keeps the rear profile smooth, and since this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

| 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 a heavy routing flap on a logistics conveyor, using its 402.2 N push force to swing packages weighing up to 20 kg onto secondary sorting lanes.
Drives a 270 mm stroke to seat bronze bearings into housings on an automated line, relying on fixed TPU pads to soften the end-of-stroke impact.
Deploys a rugged stopping barrier at the end of a roller track, where the stainless build withstands incidental impacts and mildly humid warehouse air.
Sizing this 32 mm bore against its neighbours shows a clear power jump: it steps up from the 25 mm class (245.3 N push @0.5 MPa) and sits just below the 40 mm class (628.3 N push @0.5 MPa). The 270 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit, though at this extension the Ø12 mm rod requires careful alignment to prevent side-loading and premature seal wear. The 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread are fixed by the bore size.
Note that venting or centering the directional valve causes the piston to drift, as the fixed TPU pads only decelerate the end of travel rather than locking the load. To suspend a weight securely mid-stroke, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. 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, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for reed or solid-state sensing. The unit uses fixed TPU bumper pads for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.
