The AirTAC Airtac MI25~40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI25X60SCA is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm 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 compact automation. The Ø25 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, giving it a real edge over painted-steel alternatives in damp or washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb stroke-end impact, while the riveted construction keeps the body light.
Because the 245.3 N rating leaves little margin for friction, plan for a safe working load of about 147 N. In vertical lifting, that equates to hoisting roughly 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety factor. The built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing, and the rear CA clevis simplifies pivot mounting.

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.
Pivots light corrugated cartons on a packaging line using the CA clevis, relying on the 245.3 N thrust to push loads smoothly without stalling.
Actuates a routing flap on a logistics conveyor, where the stainless-steel rod shrugs off ambient dust and the 60 mm stroke moves the gate quickly.
Lifts approximately 12.5 kg component trays between belt levels, using the integrated magnet to trigger DMSG sensors at the top and bottom of the 60 mm travel.
When sizing this 60 mm stroke unit, check both neighbours: the Ø20 bore provides 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the larger Ø32 bore jumps to 402.2 N. Choose this Ø25 model when your application demands around 245 N of thrust. If your mechanism must hold a load vertically when air is removed or the valve is centred, note that this cylinder will drift; the bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and act as neither a lock nor a brake. For secure holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
The CA rear pivot cover pairs with standard ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, allowing it to drop directly into existing mini-cylinder brackets and clevises without special adapters. For high-speed cycles that generate heavy kinetic energy, consider the MIC variant, which offers adjustable air cushioning instead of the fixed TPU bumpers found here.
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 the pull is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This Ø25 mm bore uses a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the directional valve is centred. The fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the rod near the stroke end; they do not function as a brake or lock. You must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to hold a vertical load safely.
