The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X420SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 420mm 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 within a compact footprint. The Ø25 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and a Ø10 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. A 420 mm stroke falls well inside the 500 mm standard limit, providing ample travel for extending and retracting tasks. The riveted stainless barrel and rod naturally resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Plan for about 147 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin, which translates to lifting roughly 12.5 kg vertically. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes without adding bulk. The rear U cover provides a 90-degree port orientation, simplifying hose routing in tight machinery.

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 medium-weight cartons across a belt at 420 mm travel, using the 245 N thrust to redirect flow without stalling.
Operates an access panel in a humid washdown zone, relying on the stainless steel barrel to prevent mild corrosion.
Raises lightweight plastic totes using the 90-degree U cover for tidy routing, safely lifting components under 12.5 kg.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, dropping down to a 20 mm cylinder reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, while stepping up to a 32 mm bore yields 402 N. This model hits a strong middle ground for moderate loads. The 420 mm stroke demands careful attention to side loading; ensure the rod end is guided properly to prevent rod bending over that long extension. Furthermore, the standard ISO 6432 mounting interface means it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises, easing design and spares replacement.
Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and act as neither a lock nor a brake. If your application requires holding a vertical load securely in place during an air failure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve in the line.
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 size is 1/8".
Yes, the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. It features fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the piston, but it does not have an adjustable air cushion.
