The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X125U is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 125mm 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.
Designed for high-speed actuation, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke shock. As a double-acting unit, the MIC25X125U pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. It features a 25 mm bore, a 125 mm stroke, a 1/8 inch port, and a 90-degree U rear cover for compact mounting. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Dropping into standard mini brackets via its ISO 6432 mounting interface, it offers a safe working load of about 147 N. This equates to lifting roughly 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant. The cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end; it is not a lock or brake.

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 deflect medium-weight cartons on a sorting line, with the adjustable cushion softening the 125 mm stroke impact at high speed.
Drives packaging flaps rapidly into position where the 90-degree U cover allows tight rear clearance and the needle-set cushion prevents jarring at stroke end.
Lifts roughly 12.5 kg vertically using a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the stainless build for mildly humid storage environments.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, stepping down to the MIC20 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, while stepping up to the MIC32 raises it to 402 N. Choose this 125 mm stroke model when moving loads at high speed where the adjustable needle cushions can be tuned to prevent harsh impacts. If you need position feedback, select the -S magnet version to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or a valve is centered, do not rely on the cushion to hold a load. The air cushion strictly decelerates the piston near the stroke endpoints. For suspended or vertical loads that must maintain position during air loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 25 mm bore, a 1/8 inch port, and a male M10x1.25 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, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for sensor compatibility. The stainless build and adjustable air cushions function identically across both versions.
