The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X425SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 425mm 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 riveted barrel and Ø10 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it highly suitable for damp washdown environments where painted units fail. A 425 mm travel length provides excellent reach, and the built-in piston magnet (-S) directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG electronic or reed switches for precise end-position detection.
For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 147 N rather than pushing the limit, which means it can comfortably lift a 12.5 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The U-style back cover mounts at a 90-degree angle to streamline plumbing on tight machines. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes to protect the mechanism, and the 1/8" port matches the standard airflow requirements for this bore size.

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.
Uses the 245.3 N thrust to push heavy cartons reliably across a transfer section without stalling under friction.
Raises sample trays weighing up to 12.5 kg through the 425 mm stroke, leveraging the stainless build for sterile settings.
Shifts packaging film rolls laterally on packaging machinery, relying on the U-style back cover for compact 90-degree mounting.
When sizing this 25 mm bore unit, 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 to 402 N. Because this 425 mm stroke approaches the 500 mm maximum limit, ensure your mounting configuration prevents rod bending and side-loading forces. The ISO 6432 mounting interface allows seamless integration into standard mini-cylinder clevises and brackets.
Remember that venting the air supply causes the piston to drift, as the fixed bumpers only decelerate the end-of-stroke impact and do not function as a braking mechanism. To suspend a load safely during an air loss event, install an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the air port size is 1/8".
Yes, the -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. However, it does not hold position if air is lost; the piston drifts. You must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to suspend loads.
