The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X120SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 120mm 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 MIC25X120SCA is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding motion tasks. It features a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod to resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. The built-in CA rear pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting, while the 1/8 inch port supplies air efficiently to the 10 mm rod.
A defining trait of this series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in needle settings to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds. This protects your payload and reduces noise compared to fixed bumper models. For practical sizing, it yields a safe working load of roughly 147 N, lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S designation adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing.

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.
Uses the 245.3 N push force to push cartons off a high-speed belt, relying on adjustable cushions to stop the 120 mm stroke smoothly without slamming.
Provides steady clamping pressure for light packaging presses, where the stainless build resists occasional washdowns and the CA pivot self-aligns.
Ejects machined components from a fixture at speed; the needle-set cushion absorbs the shock of the sudden stop to protect delicate parts.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, stepping down to an MIC20 gives 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an MIC32 provides 402 N. Choose this 120 mm stroke model when moving loads at high speeds where the adjustable end cushions actively decelerate the piston to prevent impact damage. It operates between 30 and 800 mm/s.
Remember that the air cushion only slows the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a lock or brake. If your system loses air, the piston will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for secure load holding. You can mount it via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion, and the CA cover provides a rear clevis pivot.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it pushes 343.4 N and pulls 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8 inch air port and a 10 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 male thread.
Yes, the -S option includes a piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to decelerate the piston near stroke end, reducing shock. It is not a braking device, so the cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost.
