The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X230CA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 230mm 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 AirTAC MI25X230CA is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built from a stainless-steel barrel and rod. The riveted construction shrugs off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. A 230 mm stroke operates at 30-800 mm/s, and the 1/8" port drives a Ø10 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread.
Because the Ø25 bore adheres to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. The integrated CA rear pivot cover simplifies angular alignment on moving linkages. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 147 N, which means you can reliably lift about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the end-of-stroke impact, though this base SKU lacks a magnet and 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.
Swings a sorting flap on a packaging line using the CA pivot clevis, utilizing the 245.3 N push force to redirect heavy cartons reliably.
Raises intermediate pallet layers in a humid cold-storage facility, where the stainless steel rod and barrel resist condensation corrosion.
Maintains tension on a fabric guide beam across the 230 mm stroke, relying on the fixed TPU pads to soften rapid cycling impacts.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, the adjacent 20 mm option yields 157.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 32 mm bore provides 402.2 N, letting you step up or down precisely. The 230 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke, keeping the unit as a readily available configuration. For this extended length, ensure your front mounting resists side loading to prevent rod bending over the travel distance.
The CA back cover acts as a pivot clevis for articulated mechanisms. Remember that venting the air supply or centering the directional valve will cause the piston to drift, as the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a locking brake. To suspend a load safely mid-stroke, install an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" air port. 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.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet required for switches. To use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic sensors, you must select the -S magnet variant of the MI series.
