The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X60SR is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm 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 with a compact 60 mm stroke. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments, outlasting painted alternatives in damp facilities. Because this is a Ø40 bore, it is a non-ISO-6432 size, yet the riveted construction keeps the footprint tight while the R back cover provides an axial-in port orientation for neat plumbing.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), the unit supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. Plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin, which translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically against gravity. The 1/4" air port feeds the chamber efficiently, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes.

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 628.3 N push force to knock heavy stamped metal parts out of a die, relying on the 60 mm stroke to clear the tooling quickly.
Pivots a heavy lane divider on a packaging conveyor, where the stainless build survives daily washdowns and the -S magnet confirms gate position.
Pushes bearings into housings on an assembly line, safely applying about 377 N of working force while the R back cover keeps air lines tucked away.
As the largest bore in the MI family, the Ø40 leaves no larger standard size to step up to; if 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, you must switch to a different cylinder series entirely. Stepping down to a Ø32 bore drops the push force to 402.2 N, so only downsize if your payload is significantly lighter. The 60 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, keeping the rod short and highly resistant to bending under side loads. To mount this actuator, choose from LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered—the fixed TPU pads only soften the end-of-stroke impact and act purely as deceleration bumpers, never as a locking brake. If your application requires the load to freeze in place during an air failure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve in the line.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it delivers 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/4" and the male rod thread is M12x1.25.
The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. As a Ø40 bore, it is a non-ISO-6432 round-body mini cylinder. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads for deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion.
