The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X400CM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 400mm 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 over its 400 mm travel. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod provide mild corrosion resistance, giving it a distinct edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Its riveted construction remains compact, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at each stroke end.
Because this is a non-magnetic SKU, it cannot accept position sensors; adding an -S magnet variant is required for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. At 0.5 MPa, you can plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N of real work. In vertical lifting scenarios, this equates to raising about 20.5 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. The 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread ensure robust pneumatic and mechanical connections for heavier duty cycles.

| 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.
Pushes weighted packages along a packaging line, utilising the 402.2 N thrust to redirect items smoothly without stalling.
Lowers 20 kg metal castings from an overhead conveyor, relying on the 400 mm stroke and a safe 2:1 lifting margin.
Opens and closes stainless-steel access doors in a food processing plant, where the corrosion-resistant barrel survives daily moisture.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the smaller Ø25 generates 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the larger Ø40 provides 628.3 N, helping you bracket the exact force needed. The CM round end back cover dictates the rear mounting and port orientation, so verify your spatial layout. If your mechanism requires position feedback, note that this specific unit lacks the internal magnet and cannot host a sensor switch.
Operating at the maximum standard stroke limit of 500 mm, this 400 mm travel length is well within standard specifications but requires careful guidance. A long 12 mm rod extension is susceptible to bending under side loads, so external guide rails are recommended to prevent premature seal wear. Furthermore, the TPU bumpers only decelerate the end-of-stroke impact; they do not function as a lock. If gravity or air loss could cause the piston to drift, implement an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock to hold the load securely.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port. 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 SKU lacks the internal magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches cannot be fitted. You must select the -S magnet variant if position sensing is required for your control system.
