The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X45SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 45mm 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 robust actuation tasks. The Ø25 bore operates on a 1/8" port and features a CA pivot/clevis rear cover for articulated mounting. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Because the stroke is a short 45 mm, fixed TPU bumper pads effectively absorb the end-of-travel impact without needing adjustment.
For practical sizing, plan for around 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The built-in piston magnet (-S) directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic switches. Furthermore, the unit conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, allowing it to drop directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.

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 lightweight routing gate on packaging lines using the CA pivot mount, relying on the 245.3 N thrust to push parcels smoothly at 0.5 MPa.
Acts as a pneumatic stop in low-height warehouse conveyors, where the short 45 mm stroke and fixed TPU bumpers absorb repeated mechanical impacts.
Ejects processed samples from a test bay, using the stainless construction to resist humid lab environments and the -S magnet to confirm ejection.
When sizing this 45 mm stroke unit, compare it against neighbouring bores: a Ø20 generates 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a larger Ø32 provides 402.2 N. If your mechanism loses air or the valve centres, this plain cylinder will drift and cannot hold position; the bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the load. For secure holding, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The CA rear clevis suits pivoting loads, but ensure side loading is minimized to prevent rod bending over repeated cycles.
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. The air port is 1/8".
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The cushion consists of fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end; it is not an adjustable air cushion.
