The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X25CA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 25mm 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.
Generating 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles robust actuation in tight spaces. The Ø25 mm bore conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises for straightforward design integration. Its riveted stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact to protect the mechanism.
Because the 25 mm stroke is paired with a CA pivot clevis, this model excels in short-throw angular actuation. Plan for roughly 147 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Air enters via a 1/8" port, and the unit operates at speeds between 30-800 mm/s. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without upgrading to an -S variant.

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.
Uses the CA clevis to pivot a short diverter arm on a packaging line, relying on the 245.3 N push force to snap light cardboard cartons onto an adjacent belt.
Drives a quarter-turn ball valve in a mildly humid processing plant, where the stainless steel rod resists washdown corrosion better than standard steel.
Executes a rapid 25 mm latch closure on automated storage totes, with the fixed TPU bumpers quietly absorbing the impact at the end of each cycle.
When sizing this 25 mm bore actuator, verify your force needs against its neighbours: a 20 mm bore yields 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 32 mm bore provides 402 N. The CA rear pivot cover on this model is purpose-built for clevis mounting, making it ideal when the load requires angular articulation rather than a rigid straight-line push. For short 25 mm strokes, rod bending is rarely a concern, but always ensure the pivot pin is aligned to prevent side-load wear.
Remember that the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke end; they do not function as a brake. If your pivoting load must remain suspended when air pressure drops or the valve is centred, the piston will drift. You must incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to hold the position securely.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 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".
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the -S magnet variant for position sensing. It features a CA pivot clevis and uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions.
