The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X200SUTC 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 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty automation tasks with ease. The Ø40 mm bore operates on a 1/4" port and features a Ø16 mm stainless-steel piston rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. Because the 200 mm stroke falls within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke limit, it ships as a standard made-to-order configuration. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation, while the included TC trunnion mount supports pivoting articulation.
The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, offering a distinct advantage over painted alternatives in damp environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact to protect the mechanism. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 377 N, which means this actuator can comfortably lift roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for precise position sensing.

| 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 full 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa to eject dense metal castings from a CNC machining center, leveraging the 200 mm stroke for full extraction.
Employs the TC trunnion mount and U back cover to articulate smoothly and push heavy 32 kg cartons across a 90-degree conveyor transfer lane.
Relies on the built-in -S magnet and DMSG switches to verify position while folding thick corrugated packaging flaps under continuous washdown conditions.
When sizing this 40 mm bore actuator, compare it against the adjacent Ø32 bore, which yields 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less power, dropping down to the 32 mm option saves space, but the 40 mm bore is the largest available in this series, so higher force demands require a different cylinder family entirely. The TC trunnion mount pairs ideally with the U 90-degree back cover for articulated pivoting loads.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. To suspend a load safely during an outage, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit. For the 200 mm stroke length, ensure your mounting geometry minimizes side loading to prevent premature rod bending and seal wear.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder 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. It uses a 1/4" air port and a Ø16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 male thread.
No, the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the piston near the stroke end and do not function as a brake. If air is lost or the valve is centered, the rod will drift. To maintain vertical position, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
