The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI32X80U is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm 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 MI32X80U is a robust round-body mini cylinder built for demanding automation. It features a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod that shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. The 80 mm stroke operates via a 1/8 inch port, and the U suffix denotes a 90-degree rear cover for versatile port and mounting orientation.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end to protect the mechanism, though they decelerate rather than provide adjustable cushioning. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, 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.

| 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 routing flap on a logistics conveyor, using its 402.2 N push force to reliably redirect heavy cartons onto secondary sorting lanes.
Drives a short 80 mm stroke pin marker to emboss identification codes into aluminium housings on an assembly line.
Extends a physical barrier to halt incoming pallets at a packaging station, with the stainless build resisting dust and occasional moisture.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: a 25 mm bore yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. This makes the MI32X80U the right middle ground for medium-force tasks. The 80 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, keeping the rod bending risk low even under dynamic loads.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred, as the bumpers only soften the end of travel and act as neither a lock nor a brake. To suspend a load safely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit. If your sequence requires position feedback, select the -S magnet version to enable sensor mounting.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch port and a male M10x1.25 rod thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, because this specific model lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need to specify the -S variant to enable magnetic sensing. Additionally, the U suffix indicates a 90-degree back cover, and fixed TPU pads handle end-of-stroke deceleration.
