The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X25SR 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.
Delivering 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 bore uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread, engineered with a riveted barrel and rod that resist mild corrosion and washdown better than painted alternatives. Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet is included for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed and electronic switches.
Its compact 25 mm stroke and R axial-in rear cover make it exceptionally easy to plumb into confined machinery. The fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact without adding adjustable cushioning bulk, and the ISO 6432 mounting interface ensures it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. For practical sizing, plan for about 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift a 12.5 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Actuates a short-stroke routing flap on a packaging conveyor, using the 245.3 N push force to swiftly redirect 10 kg cartons without hesitation.
Secures aluminium extrusions at a CNC cutting station, leveraging the 25 mm stroke and 1/8" port for rapid, repeatable clamping under washdown conditions.
Deploys a mechanical stop pin on a roller conveyor to halt incoming pallets, relying on the stainless build to endure dusty and mildly humid warehouse environments.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, stepping down to the Ø20 MI yields 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø32 MI provides 402 N—useful if your payload exceeds the 12.5 kg vertical lift guideline. This SKU features the R back cover with an axial-in port, so ensure your manifold layout accommodates rear-axial air entry rather than a side or pivot orientation. The included -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, a vital feature for short 25 mm strokes where precise end-of-travel detection is required.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder relies entirely on continuous air pressure to maintain its rod position; if supply is lost or the valve is centred, the piston will drift and the TPU bumpers cannot act as a braking lock. To suspend a load safely mid-stroke, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock. Additionally, despite the short stroke, avoid excessive side-loading on the M10x1.25 rod thread to prevent premature seal wear and rod bending.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. Regarding load holding, the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a lock; the piston will drift if air pressure is lost, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required to hold a suspended load.
