The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X150SUSDB 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 in compact spaces. The Ø40 bore operates on a 1/4" port and features a robust Ø16 piston rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. A built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation, while the included SDB pivot-block simplifies mounting alignment.
The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it superior to painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact energy at the stroke ends to protect internal components. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 377 N, which translates to lifting roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

| 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.
Uses the 879.6 N push force at 0.7 MPa to knock heavy stamped metal parts out of a die reliably on automated lines.
Leverages the 150 mm stroke and SDB pivot mount to push heavy cartons off a main conveyor belt onto a sorting branch.
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop for loaded pallets on roller conveyors, utilizing the 32 kg safe vertical lift capacity.
As the largest bore in the MI series, the Ø40 offers maximum output with a theoretical limit of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. If this 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa exceeds your requirement, stepping down to the Ø32 bore reduces the force to 402.2 N while saving space; no larger standard MI bore exists. The 150 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, keeping the assembly rigid, though you should still minimize side loads to prevent rod bending. The SDB pivot-block accessory accommodates angular misalignment during operation.
Remember that the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke end and do not function as a brake. If air pressure drops or the valve is centered, the rod will drift and cannot maintain a vertical load. To secure a suspended weight safely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the piston at the stroke ends and do not act as a locking brake. If air is lost, the rod will drift. You must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load safely.
