The AirTAC Airtac B01-MI Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-MI25X125CA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 125mm 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 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC B01-MI25X125CA is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for rigorous automation tasks. The B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard MI25X125CA, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but grouped for specific industrial deployments. It features a 25 mm bore, a 125 mm stroke, and a 1/8" air port. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod provide excellent resistance to mild corrosion, making it highly suitable for damp environments or washdown areas where painted steel or aluminium cylinders would degrade.
This model incorporates fixed TPU bumper pads that effectively decelerate the piston at both stroke ends, reducing end-of-travel impact without the complexity of adjustable cushioning. Because it lacks the -S suffix, this specific SKU cannot accept magnetic position switches; adding an -S magnet variant is required to utilize CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 147 N, which equates to lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 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.
Actuates routing gates on packaging lines, using its 245 N push force to reliably pivot heavy cardboard cartons onto secondary chutes.
Secures aluminum extrusions in CNC machining fixtures, providing stable 125 mm travel to position raw stock before cutting operations.
Controls raising and lowering stop mechanisms on roller conveyors, holding pallets in place for robotic palletizing with its CA clevis mount.
When sizing this 25 mm bore unit, consider the neighboring bores: the 20 mm version offers 157.0 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 32 mm provides 402.2 N. The 245.3 N output of this cylinder sits perfectly in between, making it ideal for moderate-duty handling. The CA rear pivot cover allows for clevis mounting, accommodating angular movement during the stroke. Keep in mind that a plain double-acting cylinder like this will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the TPU bumpers only soften the stroke end and do not function as a brake. For applications requiring the rod to hold position under load, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is necessary. Additionally, the 125 mm stroke requires attention to side loading—ensure adequate guiding to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and generates 245.3 N push / 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 343.4 N push / 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated variant of the MI25X125CA, sharing all physical specs with the base model. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you must specify the -S variant for position sensing.
