The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X400SU 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 round-body mini cylinder handles substantial work over a 400 mm travel. The riveted stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet is present, allowing you to bolt on CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed and electronic switches for precise end-position detection.
Its Ø25 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, so it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises without custom machining. The U-style back cover provides a 90-degree port and pivot orientation, simplifying plumbing in tight spaces. For practical sizing, plan for about 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift a 12.5 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Pushes packaging pallets sideways on a washdown conveyor line, using the 245 N thrust and 400 mm reach to clear the belt before retracting.
Lowers 10 kg metal stampings from an overhead press to an inspection chute, relying on the 90-degree U back cover for tidy downward plumbing.
Indexes loaded storage bins along gravity rollers in a humid cold-storage facility, where the stainless barrel prevents rust over long shifts.
When sizing this actuator, consider the neighbours in the range: the Ø20 bore provides 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø32 yields 402 N. If your payload is under 15 kg and you need the long 400 mm extension, this Ø25 hits the sweet spot. Remember that a plain double-acting 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 lock. To hold a vertical load securely, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
With a 400 mm stroke on a Ø10 mm rod, be mindful of side loads. The piston rod can bend if the load is not guided rigidly along its travel axis. The 1/8" port matches the bore size, and the fixed bumpers allow a cycle speed anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s without slamming hard at the ends.
Quick checklist
This Ø25 bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. The double-acting thrust is 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.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. For impact absorption, it uses fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the piston at the stroke ends; it does not have an adjustable air cushion (you would need the MIC variant for that).
