The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X100SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm 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 100 mm strokes with precision. The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds up to 800 mm/s. This protects your payload and significantly reduces noise compared to fixed bumper designs. The Ø10 mm piston rod uses an M10x1.25 male thread, and the body features a 1/8" port.
Built with a stainless barrel and rod, it resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, ensuring compatibility with standard mini-cylinder brackets. For vertical moves, it lifts about 12.5 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. The S suffix means a built-in magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and the CA back cover provides a rear pivot clevis for angular alignment.

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 lightweight cartons at high speed on a sorting line where the adjustable air cushion prevents jarring stops that could topple goods.
Drives a folding arm on a carton sealer; the 245 N force easily handles cardboard resistance while the cushion softens the fold stroke end.
Applies a steady 12.5 kg holding pressure to seat small components, using the rear CA clevis to accommodate slight angular misalignment.
If 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa is too much, step down to the MIC20 which provides 157 N; if you need more power, the MIC32 offers 402 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential here if you move heavy loads at high velocity, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Remember the cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel—it does not lock or hold the load. If power fails, the cylinder drifts, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion, but this CA variant gives a rear clevis. You must specify the -S magnet option to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 25 mm bore, a 1/8" port, and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not act as a brake; you need a pilot check valve or rod lock to hold a vertical load. The S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for use with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
