The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X30U is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm 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 mini cylinder handles substantial work in a compact footprint. The riveted round-body build carries a 1/8" air port and a 30 mm stroke, making it highly effective for short, powerful movements. Its stainless barrel and rod naturally shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp washdown environments.
Because the bore conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises for easy design integration. Plan for roughly 147 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin, which translates to lifting about 12.5 kg vertically. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke end, and this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without switching to the -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.
Snaps a short 30 mm diverter arm into place on a packaging line, using the 245.3 N thrust to positively redirect heavy cartons at high speed.
Locks a mild-steel workpiece against a CNC machining stop, relying on the stainless build to withstand stray coolant splashes.
Seats bearings or small pins in an assembly fixture, applying a safe 147 N working load without requiring a bulky profile body.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, the neighbouring Ø20 generates 157.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø32 provides 402.2 N, letting you step up or down if 245.3 N is borderline. The U suffix specifies a 90-degree rear cover, orienting the back port neatly for tight machinery layouts. You can mount the body using LB foot brackets, FA flanges, SDB pivot blocks, or TC trunnions to suit your frame.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is removed or a valve is centred, as the TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the rod. For vertical loads that must hold position, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Furthermore, the short 30 mm stroke keeps rod bending stress minimal, but always guide the load to prevent side-loading the piston.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it delivers 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the air port is 1/8".
Yes, the Ø25 bore uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, so it fits standard mini-cylinder clevises and brackets. However, this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; you must specify the -S variant for position sensing.
