The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X280SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 280mm 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 demanding 280 mm stroke tasks. The Ø25 bore operates on a 1/8" port and conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises for straightforward design integration.
The rolled stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. With a 245.3 N push rating at 0.5 MPa, plan for about 147 N of actual work, which equates to lifting roughly 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact.

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.
Provides the 245.3 N push force needed to swing heavy cardboard cartons across a stainless steel conveyor belt in distribution hubs.
Handles the 280 mm extraction stroke to push prepared specimen trays out of a chemical testing station using DMSG electronic sensors.
Delivers consistent downward pressure to seal and press liquid food pouches, where the stainless construction survives daily washdowns.
When sizing this 280 mm stroke unit, consider the neighbouring bores: a Ø20 generates 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a Ø32 offers 402.2 N if you need substantially more power. Because this SKU features the CA rear pivot cover, it is ideal for clevis mounting. Note that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the load, so deploy an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. The 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread are fixed by the Ø25 bore.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 343.4 N and pull is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and operates between 30-800 mm/s.
This unit features a CA rear pivot cover for clevis mounting. A standard cylinder drifts when 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. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold suspended loads securely.
