The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X80CM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm 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 actuation where smaller bores stall. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown, outlasting painted alternatives in damp or outdoor settings. Riveted construction keeps the unit compact, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact. The CM round end cover streamlines the rear profile for straightforward port orientation.
Plan for roughly 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin, which translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically under a 2:1 safety factor. Air flows through a 1/4 inch port to drive the 80 mm stroke at 30-800 mm/s. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; specify an -S variant if position feedback is required.

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.
Kicks heavy stamped metal parts out of a 40-ton press bed using 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ensuring reliable clearance before the next cycle.
Deploys an 80 mm stroke to lift and position dense cardboard pallet dividers in packaging lines, where the stainless body resists daily washdown.
Pushes loaded shipping cartons across a transfer belt, utilizing the 32 kg vertical lift equivalent to manage substantial package weights.
As the largest bore in the series, there is no larger standard MI to step up to if 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa proves insufficient, so you would need to explore alternative series for higher force. Stepping down, the Ø32 bore provides 402.2 N of push force, making this Ø40 model the correct choice only when that lower capacity is inadequate. The M12x1.25 male rod thread handles the higher mechanical loads, and the CM round end cover dictates a specific rear mounting footprint.
Remember that venting air or centering the control valve causes the piston to drift, as the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. To suspend a vertical load safely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4 inch air port and a M12x1.25 male rod thread.
No, this specific SKU lacks an internal magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select an -S variant for position sensing. The unit features a CM round end cover and fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end without adjustable cushioning.
