Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X160CA
The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X160CA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X160CA
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles robust linear motion. The Ø25 mm bore conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Its riveted stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion, offering a real advantage over painted steel in damp or washdown environments. A 1/8" port feeds the air supply, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes.
For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 147 N rather than the absolute maximum. This translates to lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, making it highly effective for moving substantial components. The 160 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit, and the integrated CA rear pivot cover simplifies articulating rod-end installations.

Where the Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X160CA Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Actuates a heavy routing flap on a packaging conveyor, using the 245.3 N thrust to push dense cartons onto a secondary track at speed.
Parts Lowering Arm
Lowers cast metal blanks weighing up to 12.5 kg from a machining center, utilizing the CA pivot clevis to maintain smooth articulation.
Washdown Valve Lever
Indexes a fluid control valve in a damp food processing line, where the stainless steel construction prevents mild corrosion.
Is the Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X160CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, the Ø20 mm bore provides a lighter 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the non-ISO Ø32 mm bore yields 402.2 N for heavier demands. The 160 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, but ensure your mounting geometry prevents excessive side loading to avoid bending the Ø10 mm piston rod. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches; add the -S variant if your control system requires sensing. The CA clevis back cover is ideal for pivoting loads.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the end of travel and do not function as a locking brake. To suspend a load safely during an emergency stop or air loss, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X160CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is 1/8".
No, this specific SKU does not have a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S magnet variant for position sensing. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion.
