The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X400CM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 400mm 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 round-body mini cylinder handles substantial work across a 400 mm travel distance. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod supply mild corrosion resistance, making it highly suitable for damp production zones where painted steel or aluminium bodies degrade. Its Ø25 mm bore conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, allowing a direct drop into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises without custom hardware. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at both stroke ends, decelerating the motion smoothly.
Because the 400 mm travel creates a long lever arm, keeping side-loads minimal protects the rod from bending. Plan for a real working load of roughly 147 N, which is about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa push rating. Vertically, it lifts around 12.5 kg safely when applying a 2:1 margin against gravity. The CM round end back cover provides a clean rear profile, while the 1/8 inch port ensures adequate airflow for the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

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.
Pushes heavy timber pallets sideways on a packaging line using the 245.3 N push force available at 0.5 MPa.
Raises loaded crates weighing up to 12.5 kg through a 400 mm vertical cycle, benefiting from the stainless build in humid cool-rooms.
Ejects formed metal parts from a hydraulic press over a long 400 mm reach, relying on fixed TPU pads to absorb the stroke-end impact.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, compare your actual load against the 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the Ø20 bore provides 157 N, or you can step up to the Ø32 bore for 402 N. This CM round-end version lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position detection; you would need the -S variant for switch mounting. For mounting flexibility, the series supports LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion brackets.
With a 400 mm stroke, rod bending under side-loads becomes a real concern, so ensure rigid guidance on the payload. Note that this cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centred, as the piston will drift. The fixed TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact, never acting as a brake. Use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve if you must arrest downward drift.
Quick checklist
The 25 mm bore generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8 inch air port and a 10 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 male thread.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet required for switches. You must select the -S variant to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. The cylinder uses ISO 6432 mounting dimensions and features a CM round end back cover.
