The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X300SCM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 300mm 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 stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty actuation where compact dimensions still matter. The Ø40 bore operates on a 1/4" port and relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the piston at stroke ends rather than adjustable air cushions. Because the 300 mm stroke length is well within the 500 mm maximum for this bore, it ships as a standard configuration with a CM round end cover.
The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving this unit a distinct advantage over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin, which translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches for electronic feedback.

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.
Pushes heavy cartons on a washdown packaging line, using the 628.3 N push force to deflect items onto a secondary belt without stalling.
Lifts a 32 kg fixture vertically in an assembly jig, utilizing the safe 2:1 working margin derived from the 0.5 MPa thrust rating.
Opens and closes a stainless-steel process gate in a damp food facility, relying on the corrosion-resistant barrel and CM round end cover.
Sizing this 40 mm bore requires checking both neighbours: stepping down to the Ø32 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while the Ø40 is the largest available in this series, so no larger standard AirTAC MI option exists for higher loads. The 300 mm stroke is substantial, so ensure your mounting arrangement—whether LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion—prevents rod side-loading and bending over that extended travel distance.
Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and will not function as a brake. If your application requires the load to stay put during an air loss event, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and generates 628.3 N push / 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 879.6 N push / 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this base MI model features fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end, not an adjustable air cushion (see the MIC variant for that). However, the -S magnet allows you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.
