The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X10CM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty tasks in tight spaces. The stainless-steel barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. With a 1/4 inch port and a 16 mm rod, it is built for robust operation.
For practical sizing, plan for about 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The 10 mm stroke and CM round end cover excel at short, powerful clamping. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the stroke-end impact, though this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

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 Ø40 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 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.
Provides intense 628.3 N impact force for marking or forming thick metal plates over a very short 10 mm travel distance.
Secures heavy timber or steel workpieces on machining centers, using its robust 16 mm rod to resist deflection during aggressive milling.
Punches dense molded parts out of injection molds quickly, leveraging the high force output within a compact machinery footprint.
As the largest bore in the MI family, there is no larger standard size to step up to; if 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, you must explore external amplification. Stepping down to the Ø32 bore drops the push force to 402.2 N. Because this plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or a valve is centered, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the impact, so they never function as a braking lock.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch port and a 16 mm rod. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. It features a CM round end cover and fixed TPU bumper pads for stroke-end deceleration.
