The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X550SCM is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 550mm 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 demanding actuation with a 550 mm stroke. Because 550 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard limit for this bore, it is produced as a non-standard, made-to-order unit. The stainless barrel and Ø10 mm rod naturally resist mild corrosion and washdown, giving it a real edge over painted-steel alternatives in damp processing areas. Its riveted construction keeps the body compact, while the built-in piston magnet (-S) directly supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG reed or electronic switches for position confirmation.
The CM round end back cover provides a clean rear enclosure for straightforward port orientation. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at stroke extremes to protect the mechanism. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. Air connects via a 1/8" port, and the male M10x1.25 rod thread secures tooling.

Uses the 245.3 N thrust at 0.5 MPa to push cartons across a transfer belt, with the 550 mm reach spanning wide conveyor lanes.
Lowers a forming head in a food-grade environment where the stainless steel barrel resists washdown chemicals and daily moisture.
Cycles deep into a machine bed to clear stamped metal parts, relying on the 550 mm non-standard stroke to access remote tooling zones.
When sizing this 25 mm bore actuator, compare it against adjacent bores: a 20 mm bore yields 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 32 mm bore provides 402 N. This model sits perfectly in the middle for medium-force tasks. The 550 mm stroke is highly extended for a mini cylinder, so carefully manage side loading—any offset mass on a rod this long can induce bending moments and premature seal wear, making a guided carriage advisable.
This SKU features the -S magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and the CM round end cover. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a locking brake. To suspend a load safely during an outage, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm 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.
It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini-cylinder brackets, but it features fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion. The 550 mm stroke is a non-standard made-to-order length exceeding the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
