The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X45SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 45mm 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 MI40X45SU is a robust double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding automation. Its stainless-steel barrel and piston rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it highly suitable for damp washdown environments where painted steel or aluminium bodies degrade. The compact 45 mm stroke strikes an excellent balance for short, heavy transfers, while the integrated piston magnet (-S) allows seamless fitment of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG electronic switches for position confirmation.
Because this 40 mm bore exceeds the ISO 6432 standard envelope, it functions purely as a heavy-duty round-body mini cylinder rather than a standard interchange unit. The internal fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the end-of-stroke impact to protect your mechanics, decelerating the load smoothly without the tuning hassle of an adjustable air cushion. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 377 N at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 32 kg 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.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
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.
Generates 628.3 N of clamping thrust at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy steel castings during CNC machining operations.
Applies up to 879.6 N of push force at 0.7 MPa for seating bearings or pins over a tight 45 mm travel distance.
Handles robust diverting arms on packaging lines, easily moving dense cartons with its 32 kg equivalent lift capacity.
Choosing this 45 mm stroke unit means sizing against its neighbours: the Ø32 bore offers 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas this Ø40 provides 628.3 N, and there is no larger standard MI frame above it. The U-style back cover provides a 90-degree port and pivot orientation, expanding your mounting flexibility alongside standard LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion brackets. If your mechanism loses air supply or the directional valve centres, this cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load in place—the TPU pads only soften the stroke end, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure vertical holding.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and a Ø16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. It delivers 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches. The U back cover provides a 90-degree orientation for pivot mounting or port routing, and the stainless-steel riveted round body ensures reliable performance in washdown zones.
