The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X50SR is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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, the AirTAC MI32X50SR is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding actuation. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod provide excellent mild-corrosion and washdown resistance, outperforming painted alternatives in damp environments. A built-in piston magnet allows seamless integration with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic switches for position sensing.
This 32 mm bore unit features a 50 mm stroke and a 1/8" port. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the piston at stroke ends, rather than an adjustable air cushion. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which means it can vertically lift about 20.5 kg 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.

| 0.7 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 routing flap on a stainless-steel conveyor handling wet produce, using the 402.2 N thrust to deflect heavy cartons reliably.
Serves as a robust stopper arm in a distribution hub, where the 50 mm stroke halts pallets and the TPU bumpers absorb the repeated impact.
Provides the precise downward clamping force for securing caps on pharmaceutical vials, benefiting from the corrosion-resistant stainless build during washdowns.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbours: the smaller Ø25 MI yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø40 MI provides 628.3 N. The MI32X50SR is the right choice when your application requires that middle-ground force. It features an R back cover with an axial-in port to simplify plumbing in tight spaces.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and do not function as a locking brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The included -S magnet enables position feedback, and you can mount the body using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder has a 1/8" 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 of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the base MI uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, not an adjustable air cushion (for that, look at the MIC variant). However, because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches directly onto the body for electronic position sensing.
