The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X500SCM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 500mm 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 heavy-duty positioning tasks. The stainless-steel barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. A 500 mm stroke provides extended travel, while the 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread ensure robust pneumatic connections.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. The CM round end back cover offers a clean rear profile. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain optimal performance. This translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin, letting you match real part weights accurately.

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.
Pushes heavy loaded pallets across transfer lines using its 402.2 N push force, while the stainless construction survives dusty warehouse environments.
Extends the full 500 mm stroke to fold and seal large corrugated cardboard cartons, relying on the built-in magnet for timing confirmation.
Actuates heavy guide frames in humid dyeing facilities, where the stainless steel rod resists mild corrosion and the CM round end eases rear mounting.
Sizing this 32 mm bore against its neighbours shows a clear step up from the 25 mm class (245.3 N push @0.5 MPa) and a slight step down from the 40 mm class (628.3 N push @0.5 MPa). The 500 mm stroke is the maximum standard length for this bore; at full extension, minimize side-loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. The fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston near the stroke end but do not act as a lock. If your application must hold a vertical load when air is lost or the valve is centred, the piston will drift. You must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve for secure positioning.
Quick checklist
The 1/8" port supplies air to deliver 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it provides 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this model uses fixed TPU bumper pads that merely decelerate the stroke end. For adjustable air cushioning, you need the MIC variant. This unit includes a magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and features a CM round end cover.
