The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X175CA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 175mm 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 conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises for straightforward design integration. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, offering a distinct advantage over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
Equipped with fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, the riveted construction remains light and durable. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 147 N, which translates to lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches without upgrading to an -S variant. The 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread ensure robust pneumatic and mechanical connections.

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.
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging conveyor, using the 245 N thrust to push parcels smoothly into secondary lanes.
Raises lightweight component trays weighing up to 12 kg in a clean assembly cell, relying on the stainless build for washdown compatibility.
Secures aluminium extrusions in a machining fixture via the CA pivot clevis, absorbing side loads during the 175 mm travel.
When sizing this unit, the Ø20 bore provides 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø32 yields 402.2 N, helping you bracket the 245.3 N output of this Ø25 model. The CA rear pivot cover is ideal for clevis mounting, accommodating angular rod alignment during the 175 mm stroke. Because this is a standard stroke length under the 500 mm maximum, it avoids made-to-order delays.
Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is removed or a valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only soften impact at the stroke extremes and do not function as a brake. If your application requires vertical load holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This Ø25 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select an -S magnet variant for position sensing. It uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions and fixed TPU bumper pads rather than adjustable cushions.
