The AirTAC Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC25X110S is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 110mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The AirTAC MGC25X110S is a double acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 110 mm stroke, fitted with a variable air cushion at both stroke ends. Unlike the bumper-style MG, the cushion needles are adjustable, so you can dial in smooth deceleration near end of travel - a real advantage at higher piston speeds (up to 800 mm/s) or with heavier moving loads that would hammer the covers of an uncushioned cylinder. Air power extends and retracts the rod, delivering 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.4 N push at 0.7 MPa.
Construction follows the proven MG family recipe: a SUS304 stainless barrel with covers and stainless block riveted and rolled onto it (no tie-rods, no extruded profile), and a hard-chrome plated 20 um carbon-steel rod running in a two-way piston seal that also stores lubricant. The 10 mm rod carries a male M10x1.25 thread and air is supplied through 1/8" ports. Because the S code is in this model, a magnet is built into the piston, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the stroke end - it is not a lock, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must be held on air loss.

The variable air cushion absorbs the impact of fast-moving cartons or pallet stops, letting this 25 mm cylinder cycle at high speed without hammering the covers.
With 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa (343.4 N at 0.7 MPa), it clamps boxes or presses light fittings into place while the cushion gives a soft, controlled seating.
The fitted magnet and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches give end-of-stroke feedback, and the adjustable cushion smooths each reversal of a compact indexing slide.
At 25 mm bore the MGC25X110S sits just above the smallest cushioned size: it gives 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa (about 25 kgf, so roughly 12 kg safe working load for vertical lifting at the usual 0.6 rule of thumb), while the 20 mm MGC offers 157.0 N if you need less force. If your application runs fast or carries a moving mass into the end of stroke, the adjustable air cushion is exactly why you pick MGC over the plain bumper MG in the same 20-40 mm range; if you never need cushioning, the MG is the simpler alternative. Going up, the 32 mm bore reaches 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa. Mount with the LB foot or FA flange, add I or Y rod knuckles if the tooling needs a pivot, and remember the -S magnet already fitted here enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG position sensing. The 110 mm stroke is well inside the 500 mm standard range for this bore, and strokes up to 800 mm are made to order; on long strokes, guide the load externally so the rod does not see side loading.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 50 kgf. For safe sizing, treat about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa push force (roughly 12 kg vertical lift) as a practical working load.
Both stroke ends have a variable air cushion: turn the needle to throttle exhaust and decelerate the piston smoothly - it is adjustable, not a fixed pad, and it does not lock or hold the load on air loss. This -S model includes a piston magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be fitted for position signalling.
