The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X250U 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 stainless barrel and Ø10 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it far superior to painted alternatives in damp washdown environments. It features a 1/8" air port and a 90-degree U back cover for perpendicular mounting flexibility.
Because it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the unit drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises, simplifying retrofits. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact without the tuning required by adjustable cushions. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 147 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to safely lifting a 12.5 kg load vertically against gravity.

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 logistics conveyor, using the 245.3 N thrust to push heavy cartons smoothly into secondary sorting lanes.
Drives a folding arm on a corrugated box erector, where the 250 mm stroke provides the reach needed to tuck large end flaps securely.
Maintains consistent yarn tension in a humid manufacturing environment, leveraging the stainless construction to resist moisture degradation.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, the neighbouring 20 mm option yields 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 32 mm provides 402 N, letting you step up or down precisely to match your 245.3 N requirement. The 250 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke limit, though at this extension you should carefully manage side loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches; choose the -S variant if your control system requires electronic end-of-stroke detection. Remember that venting the air supply causes the piston to drift, as the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the load in place.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it delivers 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is 1/8".
This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; you need the -S variant for sensing. Additionally, it does not hold position on air loss, as the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than acting as a brake.
