The AirTAC Airtac MG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MG25X175S is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
With a 25 mm bore pushing about 245 N at 0.5 MPa (343.4 N at 0.7 MPa), the MG25X175S is a double acting JIS round-body mini cylinder that moves small loads briskly over a 175 mm stroke. The SUS304 stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod shrug off damp, washdown-prone and outdoor conditions that quickly ruin painted-steel minis, and the riveted covers keep the body compact. Because the footprint follows the JIS mini-cylinder standard, existing JIS brackets and I/Y rod knuckles can be reused without redesign.
The 175 mm stroke ends meet fixed anti-impact bumper pads that soften direction changes - they decelerate only and are not an adjustable air cushion. The fitted magnet lets CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches report rod position, so a packaging gate or pick station can confirm extend and retract without extra hardware. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 147 N (about 15 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

The 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa folds carton flaps on a packaging line, while the fitted magnet confirms each tuck via a CMSG switch before the case seals.
A 175 mm stroke steps lab sample trays one position at a time; the stainless barrel tolerates repeated wipe-downs in wet bench environments.
About 15 kg of usable vertical load at 0.5 MPa (with a 2:1 margin) presses bushings into small housings on an assembly bench.
At 0.5 MPa this bore delivers 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull; the next size down (bore 20) manages only 157.0 N push, while bore 32 raises it to 402.2 N. If your load sits between those figures, the 25 mm bore is the efficient pick. Remember that a plain MG drifts when air is removed or the valve centres - for a held load add an external rod lock or a pilot check valve. Mount it with LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis or SDB pivot brackets, and match the 175 mm stroke to a guide if any side load or rod bending is expected.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 343.4 N and pulls 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, and the port is 1/8".
The S means a magnet is built into the piston, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can detect rod position - a non-S MG cannot take these sensors. The pads at the stroke ends are fixed anti-impact bumpers: they decelerate the piston but are not an adjustable cushion and do not lock or hold a load.
