The AirTAC Airtac B52-MI Copper-Free Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder B52-MI25X100SCM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm 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.
This B52-MI25X100SCM is the copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of AirTAC's MI25X100SCM round-body mini cylinder. The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the riveted construction keeps the body compact and light. With a 25 mm bore, it delivers 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for light assembly tasks.
The B52- prefix means this version is built for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems or certain battery and electronics plants. The -S suffix adds a built-in piston magnet, enabling CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing. The 1/8" port and M10x1.25 rod thread follow the ISO 6432 standard for 25, so it drops into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. For a typical application, plan for about 147 N of safe working load at 0.5 MPa, which gives you a 2:1 margin over the rated force.

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.
Use this copper-free cylinder in battery cell stacking jigs where copper contamination is prohibited. The 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa is enough to clamp thin electrode layers without damage, and the stainless build resists electrolyte splash.
In ammonia-based refrigeration test stands, copper alloys corrode rapidly. This B52 version avoids that risk entirely. The 206 N pull force at 0.5 MPa can retract a small probe or valve stem reliably in a cyclic test fixture.
On a PCB assembly line, mount this cylinder to raise a stopper pin. The 245 N push force lifts a lightweight aluminium stop block repeatedly, and the -S magnet lets a PLC confirm the pin position via a DMSG switch.
When sizing this cylinder, compare it with the 20 MI (157 N push at 0.5 MPa) if you need a smaller footprint, or step up to the 32 MI (402.2 N push) for significantly more force. The 100 mm stroke is within the standard 500 mm maximum for this bore, so no special ordering is needed. Since this is a plain double-acting cylinder, it will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred-for a held load, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The fixed TPU bumper pads only soften the stroke end; they do not act as a brake. The CM back cover provides a round-end mounting style, and you can pair this with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, or TC trunnion mounts. The built-in magnet (-S) works with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For a 100 mm stroke, keep side loads low to avoid rod bending.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 245.3 N and pull force is 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 343.4 N and pull to 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with proof pressure at 1.5 MPa.
B52- is AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the MI25X100SCM, designed for lines where copper alloys are not allowed. The exact material substitutions should be confirmed with us. The -S suffix means this unit has a built-in piston magnet, so you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches to detect rod position.
