The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X50SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm 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 riveted barrel and Ø10 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. Its 1/8" port feeds the chamber efficiently, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes without offering adjustable cushioning.
Thanks to the built-in magnet, you can track piston position with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. For practical sizing, plan for about 147 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The U-style back cover mounts at 90 degrees, simplifying compact machinery layouts.

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 flap on a packaging line, using the 90-degree U cover to pivot smoothly while pushing 147 N of safe working load.
Drives a folding arm to tuck cardboard flaps prior to sealing, benefiting from the stainless build during periodic washdowns.
Pushes completed 12 kg metal brackets off an assembly fixture, operating well within the 245.3 N capacity at 0.5 MPa.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, stepping down to a 20 mm unit drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, whereas moving up to a 32 mm bore jumps it to 402 N. Choose this model when your load sits comfortably in the middle. Remember that venting the air or centering the valve lets the piston drift freely; the TPU bumpers only soften the end stops rather than locking the rod. Secure suspended loads with an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
The 50 mm stroke keeps the rod short to minimize side-load bending. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for position sensing. You can mount it via standard ISO 6432 brackets or use the 90-degree rear U cover for pivot applications.
Quick checklist
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 pull is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and a Ø10 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 male thread.
The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. It does not hold position if air is lost; the piston drifts and the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold suspended loads.
