The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X400R 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 demanding linear motion over its 400 mm travel. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø12 mm piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, outperforming painted alternatives in damp environments. A 1/8" port supplies air, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact. Because it lacks a magnet, this specific SKU cannot host position sensors; adding an -S variant enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
For practical sizing, plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin. Vertically, that equates to lifting about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety factor. The R back cover features an axial-in port orientation, simplifying plumbing where side clearance is tight. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof rating of 1.5 MPa.

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.
Shifts heavy cardboard cartons on a washdown packaging line, using its 400 mm stroke to open diverter flaps fully without risking mild corrosion from ambient moisture.
Maintains precise tensioning arms on industrial weaving equipment, where the stainless rod withstands fibrous dust and humid conditions better than standard steel.
Acts as a robust 402.2 N stopper for loaded pallets entering a stretch wrapper, absorbing the impact via fixed TPU pads as goods hit the 400 mm extension point.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it against neighbours: the Ø25 delivers 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the Ø40 provides 628.3 N. Choose this model when your load sits comfortably between those thresholds. For a 400 mm stroke, mind the rod-bending risk under heavy side loads; use a guide rail to prevent piston damage. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion to suit your frame.
Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centres; the TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end and never act as a lock. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept magnetic switches.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" air port and a male M10x1.25 rod thread. 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, this specific SKU lacks an internal magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. It is a non-ISO-6432 round-body mini cylinder featuring an R axial-in rear port and fixed TPU bumpers rather than adjustable cushions.
