The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X45SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 45mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavier automation tasks with a 45 mm stroke. The stainless-steel barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp environments. Its riveted construction keeps the body compact while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position detection.
For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which is about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating. In a vertical lift scenario, this translates to raising around 20.5 kg with a two-to-one safety margin. The 1/8" port supplies ample air volume, and the U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree mounting interface to fit tight machinery frames.

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 a heavy routing flap on a logistics conveyor, using the 402.2 N push force to redirect cartons weighing up to 20 kg onto secondary belts.
Secures wooden housing panels during a stapling operation, where the 45 mm stroke delivers rapid clamping and the U cover allows flush wall mounting.
Maintains precise tension on heavy fabric rolls in humid dye-house conditions, relying on the stainless rod to prevent mild corrosion.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to a 25 mm cylinder drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, whereas moving up to a 40 mm bore increases it to 628.3 N. The short 45 mm stroke keeps the rod highly resistant to bending under side loads. Because the U cover orients the rear port at 90 degrees, ensure your tubing layout clears adjacent mechanisms. This SKU includes the -S magnet for direct sensor mounting.
Remember that venting the air supply or centering the directional valve will cause the piston to drift; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the end of travel and do not function as a brake. If your application requires the rod to stay firmly in place during a pressure loss, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 563 N and the pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 32 mm bore unit uses a 1/8" air port.
Yes, the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches. The U back cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation, which helps route tubing neatly in confined spaces.
