The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X700SCM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 700mm 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 demanding linear motion tasks. The 40 mm bore pairs with a substantial 700 mm stroke, which exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum and is produced as a made-to-order unit. Its stainless-steel barrel and piston rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge in damp or washdown environments where painted steel fails. The 1/4" port feeds the chamber efficiently, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes.
For practical sizing, plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The riveted construction keeps the body compact, and the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. A CM round end caps the rear, offering a clean, versatile mounting orientation for custom machinery.

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 at 0.5 MPa to positively deflect heavy packaged goods onto secondary packaging lines without stalling.
Leverages the 700 mm travel to lower lifting platforms, safely moving parts weighing up to 32 kg in automated assembly cells.
Relies on the stainless steel round-body construction to withstand damp, mildly corrosive laboratory environments during repeated cycling.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to a 32 mm cylinder drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while no larger MI series option exists above it. Because the 700 mm stroke is non-standard and lengthy, carefully manage side loads to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. The CM round end cover dictates the rear mounting profile, so verify your bracket alignment. Since this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Remember that fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke end; they do not act as a brake. If air pressure drops or the valve is centred, the piston will drift and cannot hold a load. To maintain vertical position, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air 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, the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the piston at the stroke end and do not function as a locking brake. If air is lost, the piston drifts; you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a vertical load.
