The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X450SR is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 450mm 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 linear motion across its 450 mm stroke. The Ø40 bore operates on a 1/4" port with a robust Ø16 piston rod, while the riveted stainless construction resists mild corrosion and washdown better than painted alternatives. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the end-of-stroke impact, and the built-in magnet (-S) directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.
For practical sizing, plan for roughly 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. The rear R cover features an axial-in port orientation, simplifying plumbing in tight machinery layouts. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.

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 across sorting lanes using the 628.3 N push force, with the 450 mm stroke ensuring full traversal across wider conveyor belts.
Ejects formed metal parts from a hydraulic press bed, leveraging the 527.8 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to retract the 16 mm rod clear of the tooling.
Acts as a high-force end-stop for inbound pallets on a roller conveyor, where the stainless barrel withstands dusty ambient conditions and occasional washdown.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to the Ø32 class drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while no larger AirTAC MI exists above Ø40. The 450 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke, though at this extended length you must carefully manage side loads to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. The R axial-in back cover provides flexible porting, and you can utilize LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion mounts.
Because the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and never act as a lock, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. To suspend a load safely during an outage, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
The 1/4" port feeds a Ø16 rod delivering 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it yields 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The R back cover provides an axial-in port orientation, aligning the air line straight back along the cylinder body to save space.
