The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X250R is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 250mm 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 uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread, while the R back cover provides an axial-in port orientation for tight rear-clearance installations. Built with a rolled and riveted stainless barrel and rod, it resists mild corrosion and washdown better than painted alternatives.
At 0.5 MPa you can expect a real working load of about 147 N, which translates to lifting a 12.5 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes without offering adjustable cushioning. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic 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.
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line, using the 245.3 N push force to redirect heavy cartons onto secondary conveyors.
Raises lightweight jigs or 12.5 kg workpieces vertically between machine stations, relying on the 250 mm stroke for precise elevation changes.
Maintains tension on yarn guides within humid textile manufacturing environments, leveraging the stainless-steel construction for mild corrosion resistance.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, dropping down to the Ø20 model reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 157.0 N, whereas stepping up to the Ø32 bore yields 402.2 N. This 250 mm stroke sits well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke, though at this extension you should carefully manage side loading to prevent rod bending. The ISO 6432 mounting interface lets you drop the unit straight into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Remember that venting the air supply or centering the valve causes the piston to drift, as the TPU bumpers only decelerate the end of travel rather than locking the load. To suspend a weight securely mid-stroke, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 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 Ø25 bore adheres to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, allowing it to fit standard mini-cylinder clevises and brackets. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; you would need the -S variant for position sensing.
