The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X15CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 15mm 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 is built for high-speed actuation. The MIC25X15CA features an adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock and reduce noise far better than a fixed bumper. Its 25 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and a 10 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 male thread.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because this bore falls within the Ø8-Ø25 range, it conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Based on the 0.5 MPa push force, it handles a safe working load of about 147 N, lifting roughly 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.
Snaps packages across a belt at high speed. The adjustable cushion absorbs the 15 mm stroke impact, protecting the 12.5 kg load from sudden jolts.
Drives a small bearing into a housing using 245 N of push force. The needle-set cushion ensures the press stops smoothly without hammering the fixture.
Folds carton flaps rapidly in a washdown zone. The stainless construction resists moisture while the ISO 6432 clevis mount allows easy bracket alignment.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, stepping down to a MIC20 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, while stepping up to a MIC32 raises it to 402 N. The adjustable cushion matters most when moving heavier loads at high speeds across the 30-800 mm/s range, protecting both the machinery and the workpiece from impact. The CA rear pivot cover provides a clevis mount for angular alignment.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. To add position sensing, you must switch to the -S magnet variant of this cylinder.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and a 10 mm rod. 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, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends functions only to decelerate the load, not to hold it in place.
