The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X450SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 450mm 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 a 450 mm stroke with ease. The Ø25 bore conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises for straightforward design integration. Its stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel or aluminium alternatives in damp or washdown environments.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), the unit supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches for position sensing. The rear U cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight spatial constraints. 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.

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.
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line, using the 245.3 N thrust to push heavy cardboard cartons onto a secondary belt at high speed.
Lifts small metal fixtures weighing up to 12.5 kg through a 450 mm vertical path, relying on the stainless build to resist shop-floor humidity.
Extends to press identification labels onto pallets, using the 90-degree U cover to fit within a compact end-of-line packaging cell.
When sizing this 450 mm stroke model, compare it against its neighbours: a Ø20 bore yields 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a Ø32 bore provides 402.2 N. This Ø25 unit offers a strong middle ground with its 245.3 N output. Because the 450 mm stroke is quite long, be cautious of side loads and rod bending—ensure the load is guided to prevent premature seal wear. The fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston at the stroke ends but do not act as an adjustable air cushion.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and will not lock the load. For holding a vertical position securely, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread are fixed by the bore size, and the included magnet allows seamless sensor integration.
Quick checklist
This Ø25 bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the piston near the stroke end and do not function as a brake. If air is lost, the piston will drift. To maintain a vertical position, you must use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
