The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X225CM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 225mm 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 25 mm bore operates on a 1/8" port, yielding 206.1 N of pull force on the return stroke. Its stainless barrel and rod naturally resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
The 225 mm stroke travels smoothly at 30-800 mm/s, with fixed TPU bumper pads decelerating the impact at each end. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

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 line, using its 225 mm stroke to shift parcels cleanly between parallel conveyor belts.
Maintains precise tension on yarn feeds in a humid textile mill, leveraging the stainless build to resist wet environmental conditions.
Pivots heavy loading bin lids open and closed, relying on the 245.3 N push force to overcome the lid weight and friction.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, stepping down to a 20 mm cylinder drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157.0 N, while jumping up to a 32 mm bore raises it significantly to 402.2 N. The CM round end back cover on this unit provides a clean rear profile for standard mounting orientations. For broader installation flexibility, the ISO 6432 mounting interface allows seamless integration into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
At a 225 mm stroke, the Ø10 mm piston rod extends far enough that side-loading and rod bending become critical factors; ensure the load is guided to prevent premature seal wear. Furthermore, the fixed TPU bumpers only soften the stroke-end impact and do not act as a brake. If the application requires the load to be held in place during air loss or valve centering, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve, as the piston will drift.
Quick checklist
This 25 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, increasing to 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the Ø25 bore uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, so it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets, foot mounts (LB), and trunnions (TC). However, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches without replacing the cylinder.
