The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X25SU 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 short-stroke tasks. The Ø25 bore uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it an edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Riveted construction keeps the frame compact, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact at the stroke ends.
With a 25 mm stroke, plan for roughly 147 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin. This translates to lifting about 12.5 kg vertically, letting you match real part weights accurately. The built-in magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches, and the U-type back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight layouts.

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.
Secures aluminium extrusions on a machining fixture using 245.3 N of push force over a rapid 25 mm travel distance.
Actuates carton side flaps on a packaging line, where the stainless steel withstands occasional washdowns and the U cover eases hose routing.
Pushes lightweight metal parts off a conveyor belt, utilizing the CMSG sensor signal to confirm the 12.5 kg capacity diversion stroke.
For lighter duty, the Ø20 bore provides 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more power, the Ø32 bore offers 402 N. This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing and the U back cover for 90-degree mounting. Remember that air pressure alone does not secure the piston if the valve is centred or air is lost—the rod will drift. To prevent dropping a suspended 12.5 kg load, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The short 25 mm stroke minimizes rod-bending side loads, making it highly stable for fast clamping.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 343.4 N and pulls 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and a Ø10 mm piston rod.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centred. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. For vertical loads, you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
