The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X25R is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 25mm 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 short-stroke tasks. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, outperforming painted alternatives in damp or outdoor settings. Its riveted construction keeps the unit compact while the fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact.
Equipped with a 1/4" port and an R axial-in rear cover, the unit operates at 30-800 mm/s. Plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to ensure smooth cycling. This translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches cannot be fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. Note: the Ø40 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 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.

| ×25 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
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.
Drives a compact marking press to emboss thick metal tags, utilising the 628.3 N push force to create deep, legible characters within a tight 25 mm travel.
Actuates a robust routing flap on a high-capacity packaging line, where the stainless build withstands daily washdowns and the compact stroke flips heavy parcels quickly.
Locks heavy pallets into position at a wrapping station, using the substantial 40 mm bore capacity to halt momentum without deflecting under the load.
As the largest bore in the MI family, there is no larger standard size to step up to; if 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, you must explore external boosters or alternative series. Stepping down, the Ø32 bore provides 402.2 N of push force, offering a lighter footprint if the full 40 mm capacity is unnecessary. The 25 mm stroke keeps the rod short, minimising side-load bending risks.
The R back cover directs the air supply axially, which helps when routing hoses in tight manifolds. Because this base MI has no magnet, position sensing is impossible without upgrading to an -S variant. Remember that the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end; they do not function as a brake, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to prevent drift on air loss.
Quick checklist
The 1/4" port feeds a Ø40 mm bore that 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.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet required for sensing. To use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, you must specify the -S variant. The unit also features an R axial-in rear cover and fixed TPU bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion.
