The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X150SU 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, the AirTAC MI40X150SU is a robust round-body mini cylinder built for heavy-duty compact automation. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod provide excellent mild corrosion resistance, making it highly suitable for damp environments or washdown areas where painted steel alternatives would degrade. A 1/4" port supplies the 40 mm bore, driving a 16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.
The riveted construction keeps the unit compact while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact energy at the stroke ends. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 377 N, which equates to lifting roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port and mounting orientation, easing integration into tight machinery layouts.

| 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.
Generates 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy metal castings during CNC machining operations.
Uses the 150 mm stroke and 32 kg safe vertical lift capacity to positively redirect heavy product pallets on packaging lines.
The stainless steel rod and barrel withstand damp food-processing environments while routing items at high speed.
As the largest bore in the MI series, the MI40X150SU sits at the top of the range with no larger standard size available. If 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa is excessive, stepping down to the 32 mm bore yields 402.2 N, which may suffice for lighter fixtures. This 150 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, though side loads should still be minimized to prevent rod bending over the travel distance. Remember that the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke end; they do not function as a lock. If your application must hold a vertical load when air pressure drops or the valve is centered, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to prevent drifting.
Quick checklist
The 40 mm bore 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. Air is supplied through a 1/4" port.
No, the base MI uses fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the piston at the stroke ends but cannot be adjusted. For adjustable air cushioning, you would need the MIC variant. This model does include a magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
