The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X20R is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 20mm 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 robust actuation in tight spaces. The Ø25 mm bore conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises for easy design integration. Its 20 mm short stroke and rear R axial-in port make it exceptionally compact for end-of-arm tooling.
The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion, outperforming painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact without the complexity of adjustable cushioning. Plan for roughly 147 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

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.
Ideal for locking small aluminium extrusions in place on a CNC machining fixture, utilising its 245 N push force within a tight 20 mm travel.
Perfect for rapidly folding cardboard carton flaps on a packaging line, where the stainless build withstands occasional washdowns and the short stroke saves space.
Provides a swift 20 mm pop-up action to deflect small plastic parts on a conveyor belt, moving roughly 12.5 kg loads reliably at 0.5 MPa.
When sizing this actuator, the neighbouring Ø20 bore provides 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø32 offers 402 N, allowing you to step up or down if your payload shifts. Because this base MI variant has no -S magnet, position sensing is impossible without upgrading to the -S version. You can mount it using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware, complemented by the R axial-in rear cover.
Remember that venting the air supply causes the piston to drift, as the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. To suspend a vertical load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The 20 mm stroke keeps the rod short, naturally minimizing side-load bending, but lateral forces should still be avoided to preserve seal life.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 343.4 N and pull is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/8 inch and the male rod thread is M10x1.25.
Yes, the Ø25 bore uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, so it fits standard mini-cylinder clevises and flanges like LB, FA, SDB, and TC. However, because this SKU lacks a magnet, you cannot mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you would need the -S variant for position detection.
