The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X10U is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 10mm 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.
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC25X10U, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built around a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends. The stainless steel rolled barrel and Ø10 mm piston rod shrug off mild washdown environments while smoothing out high-speed 30-800 mm/s cycles. A 90-degree U back cover configures the port and mount orientation for tight spaces.
In the Ø25 class this actuator pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a 50 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. That translates to a safe working load of roughly 147 N, letting you lift about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It uses a 1/8" port and conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for standard mini brackets. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG or DMSG switches without upgrading to the -S variant.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a 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.
Ideal for gripping heavier billets in tight fixtures, using the 245.3 N push force to secure parts without overshocking the jaw mechanism.
Rapidly tucks carton flaps on packaging lines where the adjustable air cushion silently absorbs the 10 mm impact without jarring the conveyor frame.
Presses lightweight labels or stamps onto components, safely handling the 12.5 kg vertical lift margin while the U cover eases port routing.
When sizing this 10 mm stroke unit against adjacent bores, the Ø20 MIC delivers 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø32 steps up to 402 N if your payload exceeds the 147 N safe working load. The adjustable cushion is essential for heavy or fast-moving tooling, but remember it only decelerates near the stroke end. It will not lock the rod or hold position on air loss; for suspended loads add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets. Because this specific model has no internal magnet, position sensing is impossible unless you switch to the -S magnet version to accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
This Ø25 mm bore cylinder uses 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, 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. The stainless build and adjustable needle cushions function identically across both versions.
