The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X150SR 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 actuation where smaller bores stall. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments, outlasting painted-steel alternatives in damp facilities. A built-in piston magnet comes standard, enabling direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches for precise end-of-stroke detection.
At 0.5 MPa, you can plan for a safe working load of roughly 377 N, which translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The Ø40 bore uses a 1/4" port and an M12×1.25 male rod thread, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end. The R back cover features an axial-in port orientation, keeping hose routing compact along the cylinder axis.

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 cartons weighing up to 32 kg off a main logistics conveyor line using the 150 mm stroke.
Operates stainless-steel process gates in damp food packaging facilities where mild corrosion resistance is essential.
Deploys a robust stopping barrier for loaded pallets, utilizing the 628.3 N push force to absorb kinetic impact safely.
When sizing this Ø40 bore, dropping down to the Ø32 model reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while no larger MI series option exists above it. This 150 mm stroke sits well within the 500 mm maximum standard limit, minimizing rod-bending side-load risks. If your mechanism must hold a vertical load when air is removed or the valve is centered, note that the piston will drift; the TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end and act as neither a lock nor a brake. You must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 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. It features a 1/4" air port and a 150 mm stroke.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet for mounting CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For load holding, the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a brake; the piston will drift if air is lost, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required to hold a load.
