The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X400SR 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 workloads within a compact footprint. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod supply reliable mild-corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for damp production areas where painted steel or aluminium bodies degrade. A 1/8" port feeds the 32 mm bore to cycle the rod across a 400 mm stroke.
Because the bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod, plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin. This translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically against gravity. The riveted construction keeps the unit light, and the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing.

Uses the 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa to shove heavy cardboard cartons from a main packaging conveyor onto a secondary routing lane.
Drives a 400 mm stroke to lower a riveting head deep into an assembly jig, relying on the fixed TPU pads to absorb the impact at the working end.
Extends to push metal brackets from a machining cell onto a lower-level pallet, taking advantage of the stainless build to resist coolant mist.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to a 25 mm cylinder drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore increases it to 628.3 N. If your process loses air or the valve centres, the piston will drift and drop the load—the fixed TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and act neither as a brake nor a lock. To suspend a load safely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
The R back cover configures the port for axial-in orientation, streamlining hose routing along the cylinder axis. You can pair the internal magnet with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for precise end-position detection. Across a 400 mm stroke, minimize side-loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and a 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, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centred. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a locking brake. To hold a vertical load, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
