The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X125CM 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, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles substantial work within a compact footprint. The Ø25 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel or aluminium minis in damp, food, or outdoor environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the stroke-end impact, while the CM round back cover keeps the rear profile smooth.
For practical sizing, plan for about 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 60% of the theoretical rating. This equates to lifting a 12.5 kg part vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. If your sequence requires sensing, you must select the -S variant instead.

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 heavy cartons at 245.3 N on a packaging line, using the 125 mm stroke to divert items into secondary lanes.
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop for pallets, leveraging the stainless build to withstand dusty or humid warehouse conditions.
Performs light-duty pressing or seating of bearings, safely delivering around 147 N of actual working force at 0.5 MPa.
When sizing this actuator, look at its neighbours: the Ø20 bore provides 157.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø32 yields 402.2 N. The Ø25 hits a strong middle ground at 245.3 N. The 125 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum for this bore, but at this length you should watch for side loads to prevent rod bending. The ISO 6432 mounting interface on this Ø25 bore drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises, and you can pair it with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the bumpers only decelerate the end of stroke and act as neither a lock nor a brake. To hold a load securely, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The 25 mm bore generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/8" and the male rod thread is M10x1.25.
No, because this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.
