The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X25SR 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 tasks in tight spaces. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, outperforming painted alternatives in damp environments. A 1/4" air port feeds the 40 mm bore, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact. The riveted construction keeps the body compact despite the high thrust. Equipped with an R axial-in rear cover, it routes piping neatly along the cylinder axis.
Because the 628.3 N rating is theoretical, plan for a safe working load of about 377 N at 0.5 MPa. Vertically, this translates to lifting roughly 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches for precise end-of-stroke detection in automated lines.

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.

| 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.
Drives a compact marking press to emboss batch codes into aluminum tags using the full 628.3 N thrust over the 25 mm travel.
Pushes loaded pallets sideways at a transfer junction, relying on the stainless body to endure humid washdown zones.
Halts heavy corrugated boxes on a gravity roller line, using the axial-in R port to keep pneumatic hoses clear of the packaging flow.
As the largest bore in the series, the MI40X25SR tops the range with 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need less force, the Ø32 model steps down to 402.2 N. This 25 mm stroke is very short, minimizing rod bending and side-load risks. Remember that the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near stroke end—they do not lock the rod. If air pressure drops or the valve centers, the piston drifts, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to suspend loads safely.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air port and a 16 mm rod. 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 fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and cannot act as a brake. If air is lost or the valve centers, the piston drifts. To suspend a load safely, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
