The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X45SU 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 substantial work in tight spaces. The Ø25 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Its riveted stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet is ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.
For practical sizing, plan for about 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can comfortably lift a 12.5 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The U-style back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation to simplify plumbing. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for straightforward bracket integration.

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 light cartons off a main packaging line using its 245.3 N thrust, with the U cover keeping airlines neatly tucked away.
Maintains consistent tension on yarn guides in humid textile facilities where the stainless barrel prevents mild corrosion.
Extends 45 mm to press shipping labels onto pallet loads, using the -S magnet to confirm stroke end for the control PLC.
When sizing this 45 mm stroke unit, the neighbouring Ø20 bore generates 157.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø32 yields 402.2 N, so the Ø25 hits a useful 245.3 N middle ground. If your machine loses air or the valve centres, the piston will drift; the bumpers only soften the end of travel rather than locking the rod, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. The -S magnet pairs directly with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors, and the U rear cover dictates a 90-degree port exit. With a short 45 mm stroke, side-load stress on the rod remains minimal.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 343.4 N and pulls 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/8".
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centred. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold suspended loads.
