The AirTAC Airtac MID Series Double Rod Mini Cylinder MID25X225S is a genuine double acting, double rod round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 225mm 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 equal thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel mini cylinder uses a through-rod design that resists rotation and handles side loads. A rod exits both end covers, meaning the extend and retract faces share the same rod-side area for perfectly balanced force. The rear rod end remains exposed and free to trip a switch, carry a stop flag, or drive a secondary load without needing an external guide. Its stainless round barrel and piston rod withstand mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Built with a 25 mm bore and a 225 mm stroke, the unit conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for straightforward bracket and clevis integration. It operates at 30-800 mm/s, features fixed TPU bumper pads to soften stroke ends, and ports via 1/8" threads. For buyers sizing payloads, a safe working load is roughly 124 N, or a vertical lift of about 10.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing.

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 a 10 kg component carriage between two stations with equal 206.1 N force in both directions, using the twin rod to prevent carriage twisting.
Drives a primary press tool while the exposed rear rod simultaneously trips a CMSG sensor flag, eliminating the need for separate external guides.
Actuates a routing flap on a washdown line where the stainless build resists moisture, relying on the through-rod to keep the flap steady under side load.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, verify your payload against the 206.1 N output at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to the MID20 bore yields 131.9 N, while moving up to the MID32 provides 345.6 N. The twin-rod architecture is ideal here if your mechanism demands anti-rotation stability or needs a back-rod extension to trigger a mechanical stop. For mounting, you can utilize LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, but note the SDB pivot block is not offered on this double-rod variant.
Keep in mind that fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke end; they do not lock the load. If air pressure drops or the valve centers, the piston will drift. To hold a vertical load securely in place during a loss of pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both ends, 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. The 1/8" port supplies air for these double-acting operations.
No, the piston will drift on air loss. The fixed TPU bumpers only soften the stroke end and do not act as a brake. For vertical loads, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows DMSG sensors, and the stainless build handles mild corrosion.
