The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X25SCMTC 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 serious thrust in a compact footprint, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder generates 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it highly reliable for damp washdown environments where painted steel quickly degrades. Riveted construction keeps the body light, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end.
For real-world sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 377 N, which is about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating. In vertical lift setups, this translates to hoisting approximately 32 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. The 1/4" port feeds air rapidly to maintain the 30-800 mm/s speed range, and the built-in magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing.

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 drive marking pins into aluminum tags on an automated packaging line.
Swings a robust steel guide on a conveyor using the TC trunnion to pivot heavy packages smoothly.
Deploys a 25 mm stroke blocking lug to halt loaded pallets, relying on the stainless build for dusty settings.
If 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa is more power than your application requires, the Ø32 bore offers 402.2 N of push force as a smaller alternative. Since this is the largest available standard MI bore, moving up in force would require a different cylinder series entirely. The CM round end back cover pairs seamlessly with the TC trunnion mount to handle pivot requirements.
Because the stroke is a short 25 mm, side-load stress on the rod is minimal, but you must account for gravity. A standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or the valve is centered, as the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end without locking the piston. To prevent a suspended 32 kg load from falling, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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 downward if air is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the rod near the stroke end without acting as a brake. To suspend a load safely, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The built-in magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors to track position.
