The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X250SU 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 riveted barrel and piston rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it a hardier choice than painted alternatives in damp processing areas. Its 1/8" port feeds the 10 mm rod to move loads across a 250 mm stroke, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the end-of-travel impact without offering adjustable cushioning.
Because the Ø25 bore adheres to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing, and the U back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight machinery layouts. Plan for roughly 147 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin, which translates to lifting a 12.5 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety factor.

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 245.3 N thrust to push heavy cartons onto secondary tracks at speed.
Raises lightweight jigs over a 250 mm gap in an assembly cell, safely lifting parts up to 12.5 kg thanks to a calculated 2:1 safety margin.
Cycles a diverter valve in a damp food-processing line, where the stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion better than standard painted bodies.
When sizing this 245.3 N (at 0.5 MPa) unit, compare it against the adjacent bores: a Ø20 generates 157.0 N of push, whereas a Ø32 jumps to 402.2 N. Choose this Ø25 model when the smaller bore lacks thrust and the larger is physically excessive. For the 250 mm stroke, ensure your mounting configuration—such as an LB foot or FA flange—prevents rod side-loading, as longer strokes amplify bending stresses on the 10 mm rod.
The U rear cover dictates a 90-degree entry, helping route the 1/8" pneumatic lines cleanly in confined spaces. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and will not lock the load. To suspend a vertical weight safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N of push and 206.1 N of pull. 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. This model uses a 1/8" pneumatic port and a 10 mm piston rod.
Yes, the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for detection. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston at the stroke ends. For adjustable cushioning, look at the MIC variant.
