The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X225R 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 Ø25 mm bore uses a 1/8" 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 environments. The R back cover features an axial-in port orientation, simplifying rear plumbing in tight spaces.
Built with fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, the riveted body drops directly into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. Plan for roughly 147 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting 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.
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line, using the 245.3 N thrust to push heavy cartons onto a secondary belt at high cycling speeds.
Lowers a light assembly tooling head over 225 mm to seat bearings, relying on the fixed TPU bumpers to soften the impact at the end of the downstroke.
Adjusts a fabric guide bar in a humid manufacturing environment, where the stainless steel barrel prevents mild corrosion that would degrade standard cylinders.
When sizing this 225 mm stroke model, compare it against the adjacent bores: the Ø20 generates 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø32 offers 402.2 N. If your application requires position feedback, you must select the -S magnet variant to enable sensing. This standard version cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston will drift, and the bumpers only soften the end of travel, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads.
At 225 mm, the Ø10 mm rod is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke, but long strokes naturally invite side-loading. Ensure your front mounting uses an FA flange or LB foot to minimize rod bending and premature seal wear. You can also utilize TC trunnion, SDB pivot blocks, or CA, U, and CM back covers to match your machine geometry.
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 purchase the -S variant (MI25X225R-S) if your application requires position sensing. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable air cushion.
