The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X50U 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, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles substantial work in a compact footprint. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod supply mild corrosion resistance, proving highly effective in damp production zones or washdown environments. A 1/8" port feeds the 32 mm bore, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes to protect your tooling.
Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which is about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating. Alternatively, you can estimate it will lift a 20.5 kg mass vertically when applying a two-to-one 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.

| -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 belt, using its 402.2 N push force to reliably redirect dense cartons onto secondary sorting lanes.
Drives a 12 mm rod assembly to seat metal dowel pins into CNC-machined aluminium housings, relying on fixed TPU pads to soften the end-of-stroke impact.
Deploys a 50 mm stroke blocking arm at the end of a roller conveyor, securely halting loaded pallets weighing up to 20.5 kg in a vertical lift scenario.
Sizing this 32 mm bore requires checking both neighbours: the 25 mm class yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the larger 40 mm bore jumps to 628.3 N. Choose this model when the 25 mm falls short but you want to avoid the bulk of the 40 mm. Note that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centres; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the end of stroke and will not lock the load, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical holding.
This variant features a U-style 90-degree rear cover for compact pivot mounting. The 50 mm stroke sits well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke limit, keeping the Ø12 rod highly stable against side loads. If your machine requires adjustable end-cushioning for high-speed cycles, look at the MIC variant instead of the base MI.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and a 12 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402.2 N of push and 345.6 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must select the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Additionally, this is a non-ISO-6432 round-body mini cylinder, so verify your mounting dimensions for the U-style 90-degree back cover.
