The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X450U 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 mini cylinder handles substantial work within a compact footprint. The Ø25 bore uses a 1/8" port and a 10 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. The riveted round body includes fixed TPU bumper pads that soften stroke-end impact.
For practical sizing, plan for about 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lets you lift a 12.5 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight installations. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; you would need the -S variant for position sensing.

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.
Shifts heavy cardboard cartons on a sorting line using the 245.3 N push force, with the 90-degree U cover keeping the 1/8" port tidy against the frame.
Moves a fabric guide bar through a 450 mm stroke, relying on the stainless rod to withstand humid manufacturing environments without corroding.
Extends a label applicator across a pallet width, using the ISO 6432 mounting dimensions to fit standard clevis brackets on the gantry.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, the smaller Ø20 generates 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø32 provides 402 N, letting you step up if the load increases. A 450 mm stroke is substantial for a mini cylinder, so ensure your mounting arrangement—whether LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion—prevents rod side-loading and bending. The ISO 6432 mounting interface drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Remember that a plain MI does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the piston will drift. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than acting as a brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder has a 1/8" port. 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 the pull is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the MI25X450U-S variant to enable position sensing. The cylinder uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, rather than an adjustable air cushion.
