The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X350R is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 350mm 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, the AirTAC MI40X350R is a robust double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding automation. It features a 40 mm bore, a 350 mm stroke, and a 1/4" air port. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod provide reliable mild-corrosion and washdown resistance, outperforming painted alternatives in damp environments. An axial-in R back cover keeps the rear pneumatic connection neatly in line with the body.
Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes, though they decelerate rather than act as an adjustable air cushion. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic sensors. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 377 N, which lets you lift a 32 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

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.

| 0.5 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.

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 deflect heavy cartons on a logistics sorting line, where the stainless body survives occasional washdowns.
Provides steady downward clamping pressure for assembling bearings, relying on the 350 mm stroke to accommodate varying fixture heights.
Pushes loaded pallets into position on a roller conveyor, safely moving masses near the 32 kg vertical lift threshold without overloading the rod.
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, the neighbouring Ø32 generates 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the Ø40 is the largest available in this series at 628.3 N. If your application requires position feedback, you must select an -S magnet variant to enable switch mounting. The 350 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke, meaning no made-to-order wait, but always ensure your mounting brackets—whether LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion—support the rod against side loads to prevent bending over this long travel distance.
Remember that venting or centering the directional valve will cause the piston to drift, as the standard construction does not lock the load. To suspend a heavy vertical mass safely during an air loss event, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit rather than relying on the bumper pads.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod. It 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, because this specific code lacks the -S suffix, there is no internal magnet and it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. It is also a non-ISO-6432 round-body mini cylinder that uses fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable air cushion.
