The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X400SCM 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.
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles substantial work within a compact riveted round-body format. The 25 mm bore operates on 1/8" ports and features a built-in magnet for position sensing alongside a round CM back cover. Its stainless barrel and Ø10 mm rod naturally resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Because the 400 mm stroke is long, plan for about 147 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa rather than the absolute maximum to account for friction and side loads. This equates to safely lifting a 12.5 kg mass vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
The integrated piston magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for end-of-stroke detection. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at the stroke extremes, decelerating the motion smoothly across the 30-800 mm/s speed range. The Ø25 size adheres to ISO 6432 mounting interface dimensions, meaning it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises without custom hardware.

Actuates a routing flap on a 400 mm stroke to redirect 12 kg cartons between sorting lanes, utilising the 245 N thrust and ISO 6432 bracket compatibility.
Lowers a suction cup assembly to pick up sheet materials, relying on the stainless construction for moisture resistance and the CMSG sensors for position feedback.
Maintains precise tensioning arms over a long travel distance, where the fixed TPU bumpers absorb rapid stroke-end impacts without requiring adjustment.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, stepping down to a 20 mm cylinder drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, while moving up to a 32 mm bore raises it significantly to 402 N. Choose this model when your application specifically requires that 245 N thrust class over a 400 mm travel distance. At this length, carefully manage side loading to prevent rod bending, as long strokes amplify guide wear. The CM round end back cover offers specific rear-porting and mounting geometry, so verify your spatial clearances.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and do not function as a braking lock. If your machine must hold a vertical load during an emergency stop, add an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock. The included -S magnet enables reed or electronic sensing, whereas non-magnet variants cannot accept switches.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder features 1/8" ports and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It uses a round CM back cover, but a standard double-acting cylinder cannot hold a load if air is lost; it will drift. The fixed TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end. You must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
