The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X400U 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 Ø10 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it a hardier choice than painted alternatives in damp or washdown-prone environments. Its 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread provide robust pneumatic and mechanical interfaces for heavier tooling.
Because it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the body drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. For real-world sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 147 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating), which translates to lifting a 12.5 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without switching to the -S version.

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.
Swings a heavy routing flap on a logistics sorting line, using its 245.3 N thrust to deflect parcels reliably over a 400 mm arc.
Lowers a 12.5 kg machined casting from an overhead conveyor to an assembly fixture, safely managing the vertical descent.
Ejects failed containers in a damp food-packaging plant, relying on the stainless barrel to withstand daily moisture exposure.
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, giving you clear boundaries if your payload shifts. The U-style back cover mounts at 90 degrees, orienting the rear port neatly for inline manifold layouts on tight machines. Over a 400 mm extension, minimize side-loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Remember that the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end; they do not act as a brake. If the air supply drops or the valve centers, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to suspend any vertical load safely.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 343.4 N and pull is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/8" and the male rod thread is M10x1.25.
Yes, the Ø25 bore uses standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, so it fits generic mini-cylinder clevises and foot brackets. However, because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, you cannot mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches on it; you would need the MI25X400U-S variant for position sensing.
