The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X100SUTC 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, the AirTAC MIC25X100SUTC is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for rapid cycling. Its stainless-steel barrel and Ø10 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because this Ø25 bore falls within the Ø16-Ø25 range, it uses the ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interface, dropping smoothly into standard brackets and clevises.
The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to eliminate shock and noise at high speeds, protecting your payload far better than a fixed rubber bumper. This specific configuration ships with a built-in piston magnet for position sensing, a U-style 90-degree rear cover for flexible porting, and a TC trunnion mount. It handles a safe working load of roughly 147 N, meaning it can lift about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

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.
Handles 12.5 kg cartons at high speed on a sorting line, using the adjustable cushion to stop the diverter arm smoothly without jarring the conveyor frame.
Cycles a filling nozzle into position rapidly; the stainless build resists washdown chemicals while the needle valve damps the stroke end to protect the nozzle tip.
Raises lightweight industrial components using its 245.3 N push capacity, relying on the TC trunnion to handle side loads during the vertical transfer.
When sizing this model, consider the force boundaries of the MIC family. If you need less push, stepping down to the Ø20 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157.0 N. If your payload is heavier, moving up to the Ø32 bore increases that figure to 402.2 N. The adjustable cushion on this Ø25 cylinder is essential when operating at high speeds or moving substantial masses, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This SKU includes the -S magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly. Without the -S suffix, a cylinder cannot accept any position switches.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 25 mm bore and a 10 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. The air port is 1/8". At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 343.4 N and the pull force is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It features an adjustable air cushion at both ends that uses a needle valve to regulate deceleration, absorbing high-speed shock without acting as a brake. The -S in the model code denotes a built-in piston magnet, enabling you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches for precise end-position detection.
