The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X600U 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 substantial work. The 40 mm bore pairs with a 600 mm stroke, which exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum, making this specific SKU a made-to-order item. Its stainless-steel barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. The U-type back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight machinery layouts.
Because the 600 mm stroke creates a long lever arm, keeping side loads minimal prevents rod bending. Plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain smooth operation. This translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston at stroke ends, though they do not act as an adjustable air cushion.

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.
Pushes heavy cartons across transfer lines using the 628.3 N push force available at 0.5 MPa.
The 600 mm stroke extends fully to index large pallet components into the staging area.
Stainless construction survives damp food processing zones while operating automated washdown gates.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to a 32 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while no larger MI series option exists above 40 mm. The 1/4" port matches the bore's air volume requirements. For the extended 600 mm travel, ensure your mounting configuration—such as LB foot or TC trunnion brackets—supports the rod fully to avoid deflection.
Without external valves, this plain cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops; the piston will drift. The fixed bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact, so add a pilot-operated check valve or external rod lock if you need vertical position holding. Note that this SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port. It generates 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.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing.
