The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X180SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 180mm 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.
Generating 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles robust 180 mm linear motion tasks. The Ø25 mm bore uses a 1/8 inch air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing.
For practical sizing, plan for roughly 147 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The CA rear pivot cover provides a clevis mount for angular alignment. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end without offering adjustable cushioning, and the ISO 6432 mounting interface ensures compatibility with standard mini-cylinder brackets.

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.
Swings on its CA clevis to push 12 kg cartons off a packaging line using the 245.3 N thrust at 0.5 MPa.
Uses the 180 mm stroke to position guide rollers in humid environments, relying on the stainless rod to prevent mild corrosion.
Extends to open safety gates on loading docks, with the -S magnet triggering DMSG sensors to confirm gate position.
If you need less push, the Ø20 bore yields 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø32 bore provides 402.2 N for heavier loads. This CA-clevis model suits pivoting loads, but remember the piston will drift if air pressure drops, as the TPU pads only soften impact rather than locking the rod. For secure holding, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The 180 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum, though side loading should be minimized to prevent rod bending.
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 force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/8 inch.
No, the piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
