The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X260SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 260mm 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 a 260 mm stroke with ease. The Ø25 bore uses a 1/8" port and a Ø10 rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. Its stainless barrel and piston rod naturally resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. The riveted body keeps the unit compact, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes.
For practical sizing, plan for roughly 147 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to safely lifting about 12.5 kg vertically. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight routing. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.

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 line, using the 245.3 N push force to redirect heavy cartons onto secondary belts.
Raises lightweight jigs over a 260 mm gap; the 12.5 kg safe vertical lift capacity easily handles small metal blanks.
Stainless construction survives humid food-processing zones while pushing washed containers out of a mold station.
When sizing this 245.3 N (at 0.5 MPa) unit, compare it against the smaller Ø20 bore that yields 157.0 N, or step up to the larger Ø32 bore providing 402.2 N if your payload demands more push. The 260 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum for this bore, but at extended lengths you should carefully manage side loading to avoid rod bending. The U rear cover dictates a 90-degree port direction, so verify your tubing clearance.
Remember that fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the end of travel; they do not function as a brake. If air pressure drops or the valve is centred, the piston will drift and drop the load. To suspend a vertical weight securely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This Ø25 bore uses a 1/8" air port.
Yes, the -S suffix means a piston magnet is built in, allowing CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to be fitted. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for compact tubing. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard brackets.
