The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI40X85SCM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 85mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering serious muscle for a compact frame, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder generates 628.3 N of push force and 527.8 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown-heavy settings. A 1/4" port feeds the bore, while fixed TPU pads absorb the impact at stroke end. Because the piston magnet is present, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing.
For real-world sizing, plan for roughly 377 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa to keep a safe margin. Alternatively, it lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety factor. The CM round end covers the rear, and the riveted rolled construction keeps the unit light despite its 128.1 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa.

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.
Pushes heavy cartons weighing up to 32 kg onto a secondary packaging line using the 628.3 N push force generated at 0.5 MPa.
Operates a stainless-steel routing flap in a food processing plant where the corrosion-resistant barrel survives daily high-pressure rinsing.
Deploys an 85 mm stroke to halt loaded pallets on a roller conveyor, relying on the CM round end and TC trunnion mount to absorb the lateral shock.
Sizing this 40 mm bore leaves no larger standard AirTAC MI option, so if 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, you must jump to a different cylinder family entirely. Stepping down, the Ø32 bore provides 402.2 N of push force, serving as the natural fallback if your load is lighter. Since this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. The CM back cover dictates the rear mounting orientation, and you can pair the body with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion brackets.
Remember that standard double-acting operation means the rod drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred. The TPU pads only soften the end-of-stroke impact rather than locking the load, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a vertical position securely.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and a Ø16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. 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 Ø40 bore exceeds the ISO 6432 standard dimensions, so it is simply a round-body mini cylinder and will not fit standard ISO 6432 mounts. Additionally, it uses fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The -S suffix means it does have a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
