The AirTAC Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID25X10S is a genuine double acting, double rod round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.
Delivering 206.1 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions, this AirTAC stainless steel round-body mini cylinder uses a through-rod design to ensure extend and retract forces remain identical. Because a Ø10 mm rod exits both end covers of the Ø25 mm bore, the twin-rod structure inherently resists rotation and side loads, providing steady guidance without external rails for light jobs. The rear rod end is perfectly positioned to trip a switch or carry a stop flag.
Built with a mildly corrosion-resistant stainless barrel and rod, it handles washdown environments and operates at 30-800 mm/s. It features a 1/8" port, M10x1.25 male rod threads, and fixed TPU bumper pads. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For a safe working load, expect roughly 124 N, which translates to a vertical lift of about 10.5 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

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 equal 206.1 N force to push parts off a conveyor reliably in both directions, utilizing the back rod to trip a limit flag simultaneously.
The twin-rod construction prevents twisting during high-speed packaging flap actuation, ensuring stable alignment without external guide rails.
Leverages the 10 mm stroke and 124 N safe working load to secure light components during machining, holding position via an external check valve.
When sizing this double-acting actuator, compare both ways: stepping down to the MID20 bore drops the 0.5 MPa force to 131.9 N, while the larger MID32 raises it to 345.6 N. The twin-rod layout is the primary reason to choose this model, offering anti-rotation stability, a back-rod connection point, or the ability to drive a symmetric shuttle. With its short 10 mm stroke, it excels in compact clamping and ejecting tasks.
It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, compatible with standard LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion brackets (the SDB pivot block is unavailable for double-rods). Remember that fixed bumpers only soften the stroke end; they do not lock the piston. If air pressure drops, the cylinder drifts, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design has a rod on each side, force is equal both ways. It delivers 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The through-rod resists rotation for steady guiding and leaves the back rod end free to drive a second load or trip a switch.
