The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X250SR 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 Ø25 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, offering a real advantage over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. The rolled, riveted construction keeps the unit light, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact at the stroke ends.
For practical sizing, plan for about 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts a 12.5 kg mass vertically with a 2:1 margin. The 250 mm stroke moves through standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG position switches. The R back cover provides an axial-in port orientation for tidy tubing.

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 reliably at high cycling speeds.
Lifts approximately 12.5 kg bins between conveyor tiers with its 250 mm stroke, relying on the stainless build for humid warehouse conditions.
Secures aluminium extrusions during machining operations, where the ISO 6432 mounting interface allows easy bracket integration.
When sizing this 245.3 N (at 0.5 MPa) unit, verify if the smaller Ø20 bore (157.0 N) is insufficient, or if the larger Ø32 bore (402.2 N) is required for heavier loads. The 250 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, but at this length you must carefully manage side loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion, alongside the CA, U, R and CM back covers.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the end of stroke and do not act as a brake. To hold a load vertically, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Position sensing requires the built-in -S magnet to interface with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
The Ø25 mm bore 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.
It uses fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the piston near the stroke end, but these do not function as an adjustable air cushion or a lock. The piston will drift if air is lost, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required to hold a vertical load securely.
