The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X600SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 600mm 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-duty automation tasks. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel units in damp or washdown environments. A 600 mm stroke makes this a non-standard, made-to-order configuration that exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum for this bore. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight machinery layouts.
With a 1/4" air port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread, the riveted construction remains compact while managing substantial loads. Plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impacts, and the built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.

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.
Uses the full 879.6 N push at 0.7 MPa to knock heavy machined metal castings out of CNC fixtures on an automated production line.
Extends 600 mm to push loaded material handling pallets onto a secondary packaging track without requiring a secondary actuator.
Lifts a 30 kg access hatch on a washdown station, relying on the stainless steel construction to resist humid, high-moisture conditions.
As the largest bore in the MI family, this Ø40 model sits above the Ø32 bore, which provides 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the Ø32; there is no larger standard MI bore available. Because the 600 mm stroke exceeds the 500 mm standard limit, carefully evaluate side-loading to prevent rod bending over that long extension.
Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered—the fixed bumpers only decelerate the end of travel and never act as a lock. To suspend a vertical load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The U 90-degree rear cover and -S magnet give you flexible mounting and sensor integration.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628.3 N and the pull force is 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 879.6 N and pull is 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This bore uses a 1/4" air port and a Ø16 mm piston rod.
No, the piston drifts if air is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a brake. For vertical load holding, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. This unit also includes a -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
