The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X40SU 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 heavy-duty actuation in tight spaces. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. It features a 1/8 inch air port and a 90-degree U back cover for compact side-mounting.
Built with fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, the riveted construction keeps the unit light yet durable. Because this is a 32 mm bore, it is a non-ISO-6432 round-body cylinder. Plan for roughly 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting 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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 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.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
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 redirect dense cartons onto secondary sorting belts.
Kicks small metal stampings out of a die bed in an automated press line, relying on the stainless rod to resist cutting fluid mist.
Raises a rigid stop block to halt pallets at a packaging station, utilizing the 90-degree U cover for a secure side-mounted hinge.
When sizing this 40 mm stroke actuator, compare it against its neighbours: the 25 mm bore yields 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore jumps to 628.3 N. The 32 mm bore hits the sweet spot for medium loads. The included -S magnet allows seamless integration of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing.
Remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the bumpers only soften the end of travel and do not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 32 mm bore unit uses a 1/8 inch air port with an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
Yes, the -S suffix means a piston magnet is built-in, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches directly onto the groove. The U back cover provides a 90-degree mounting interface, positioning the air port and pivot point perpendicular to the body for compact side-loading installations.
