The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X150R is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 150mm 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 automation tasks. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion, making it highly suitable for damp washdown environments where painted steel alternatives fail. A fixed TPU bumper pad absorbs the impact at each stroke end, decelerating the payload smoothly without the complexity of adjustable cushions. The R back cover features an axial-in port orientation, simplifying plumbing in tight machinery layouts.
Because this 40 mm bore lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. For position feedback, you would need the -S magnet variant. With a 150 mm stroke operating at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s, plan for a safe working load of roughly 377 N. This equates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, letting you match the actuator to real part weights without guesswork.

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.

| 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.
Pushes heavy metal blanks into a forming die using the full 628.3 N thrust available at 0.5 MPa.
Actuates a heavy-duty routing gate on a packaging line, relying on the stainless body for washdown durability.
Draws a 150 mm stroke to secure heavy wooden components during an assembly gluing process.
When sizing this 40 mm bore actuator, stepping down to the 32 mm variant reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while no larger standard MI bore exists above it. If your application requires holding a load vertically during an air loss or valve centre state, remember this plain cylinder will drift; the TPU pads only soften the stroke end rather than locking the rod. You must add an external pilot-operated check valve or a rod lock for secure positioning. The 1/4" port and M12x1.25 male rod thread are fixed by the bore size. At a 150 mm stroke, side-load forces can bend the 16 mm rod, so ensure rigid guidance and avoid purely cantilevered loads.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air port. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select an MI40 variant with the -S suffix if your application requires magnetic position sensing.
