The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X225SR 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 robust linear motion across its 225 mm stroke. The Ø25 bore uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Because the barrel and piston rod are stainless steel, it resists mild corrosion and washdown better than painted alternatives. An R back cover provides an axial-in port orientation for tight layouts. Riveted construction keeps the body compact, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact.
Plan for roughly 147 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin, which translates to lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety factor. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, and speeds of 30-800 mm/s suit fast cycling.

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 conveyor, using the 225 mm stroke to shift parcels between sorting lanes reliably.
Pushes processed specimen trays out of a washdown station, relying on the stainless rod to resist moisture and mild chemicals.
Shoves filled storage totes onto an adjacent roller track, taking advantage of the 245.3 N thrust to overcome carton friction.
When sizing this bore, stepping down to a Ø20 MI yields 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a Ø32 provides 402.2 N. The 225 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, keeping it a stock-friendly choice. For long strokes like this, minimize side-loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. The ISO 6432 mounting interface allows standard mini-cylinder brackets, LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion accessories to bolt straight on.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is removed or the valve centers; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the end of travel and do not function as a brake. To suspend a load safely mid-stroke, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This Ø25 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.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for detection. It features fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end; it does not have an adjustable air cushion, which is found on the MIC variant.
