The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X40SCM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm 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 heavier automation tasks with ease. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø12 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it highly reliable in damp or washdown environments compared to painted alternatives. It features a CM round rear cover and a 1/8" air port.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), the unit supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for precise position detection. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impacts without requiring adjustment. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which means it can comfortably lift about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

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.

| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 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 heavy-duty routing gates on logistics conveyors, using its 402.2 N push force to reliably shift weighted cartons at high speeds.
Provides consistent downward pressure for securing caps on beverage lines, where the stainless construction survives daily washdown cycles.
Deploys a 40 mm stroke to halt pallets at loading zones, absorbing the impact via fixed TPU bumper pads without needing external shock absorbers.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to a 25 mm bore 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. This 40 mm stroke keeps the rod compact, minimizing side-load bending risks. The CM round end cover offers specific rear mounting orientation. Because it includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount position switches.
Remember that the TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke end; they do not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift. You should integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to secure the payload safely.
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 force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. However, it does not hold position on air loss; the piston drifts. You must add an external pilot check valve or rod lock for vertical load holding.
