The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X175SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering serious thrust in a compact riveted format, the AirTAC MI40X175SU is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding 40 mm bore tasks. It pushes with 628.3 N and pulls with 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while the stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 rod shrug off mild corrosion in damp or washdown environments. The integrated U back cover mounts at 90 degrees for space-saving pivot installations, and the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for exact position detection.
Because the 628.3 N rating represents an ideal maximum, plan for a safe working load of roughly 377 N to account for friction and real-world dynamics. This translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a sensible 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the shock at stroke extremes to protect your tooling, and the 1/4" port ensures high airflow for rapid cycling across the 175 mm stroke.

| 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 628.3 N push force to knock heavy stamped metal parts out of a die, relying on the 90-degree U cover to mount flush against the press frame.
Swings a heavy diverter gate across a 175 mm stroke to sort dense parcels, with the stainless construction surviving dusty logistics hub environments.
Raises a lightweight pallet stopper gate, safely lifting roughly 32 kg of vertical load thanks to the robust 40 mm bore and double-acting air power.
This 40 mm bore sits at the top of the MI range, so if you need less force, the Ø32 model provides 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa; there is no larger standard MI bore available. The 175 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, but at this extension you must carefully manage side loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. The U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree pivot mount, which pairs well with the available LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion brackets.
Remember that venting the air supply or centering the control valve will cause the piston to drift, as the fixed bumpers only decelerate the end of stroke rather than locking the rod. To suspend a load safely during an emergency stop or air loss, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet allows seamless integration with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
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. This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa.
The base MI uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end and does not feature adjustable air cushioning; for variable cushioning you would need the MIC variant. However, this MI40X175SU model includes a built-in magnet (-S), allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for precise end-of-stroke detection.
