The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X200SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering a robust 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MI40X200SU is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding actuation. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a distinct lifespan advantage over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Driven through a 1/4" port, it moves a 200 mm stroke and relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the piston at both ends.
For real-world sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 377 N, which is about sixty percent of the 0.5 MPa push rating. Alternatively, you can expect it to lift a 32 kg part vertically when applying a sensible 2:1 safety margin. This unit includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing and features a U-type back cover that orients the rear port at 90 degrees for tight machine layouts.

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 wood or metal pallets sideways off a high-speed main line using the full 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa without stalling.
Drives a 200 mm pivoting arm to fold large corrugated carton flaps, relying on the U-type 90-degree rear port to keep hoses clear of the mechanism.
Actuates a drainage gate in a sterile rinsing station where the stainless-steel construction resists constant moisture and mild chemical spray.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, compare it directly against its neighbours: a 32 mm bore yields 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N, making the upgrade necessary if you are stalling on heavier jigs. Since this is the largest standard round-body mini cylinder in the series, exceeding this capacity requires moving to a different family entirely. The 200 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, but long strokes invite rod bending, so ensure your front mounting guides the load to prevent side-play.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or the valve is centred, as the TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact rather than locking the rod. To suspend a load safely during an outage, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This SKU includes the -S magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for precise end-position detection.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread. 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, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centred. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. To hold a vertical load securely, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve in the air line.
