The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X20U 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 short-stroke tasks. The Ø25 mm bore conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises for easy design integration. Its 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread provide a solid pneumatic and mechanical interface.
The riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, offering a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact without adding bulk. For practical sizing, 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.

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.
Secures aluminum extrusions during CNC milling using the 20 mm stroke and 245 N of thrust, holding parts firmly without overtravel.
Utilizes the U-type rear cover to seat small bearings into housings on a compact assembly line, delivering precise downward force.
Pivots a stainless routing flap on a packaging conveyor, where the corrosion-resistant build withstands periodic washdowns.
When sizing this 20 mm stroke unit, the smaller Ø20 bore yields 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø32 provides 402 N, making this Ø25 a strong middle ground for moderate force. The U suffix specifies a 90-degree rear cover, altering the port and pivot orientation for tight spatial constraints. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches; add the -S variant if you require electronic sensing.
Note that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and act as neither a lock nor a brake. To suspend a vertical load safely, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the air port is 1/8".
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S magnet variant to enable electronic position sensing.
