The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X15SU 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.
Designed for high-speed actuation, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder features a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke shock. The Ø25 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Generating 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles a safe working load of roughly 147 N. This equates to lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The unit uses a 1/8" port, a U-style 90-degree rear cover, and a stainless barrel and rod that resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.

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.
Rapidly pushes small packages on a conveyor belt using its 245.3 N push force, relying on the adjustable air cushion to silently stop the 15 mm stroke without shock.
Secures cardboard cartons during automated taping. The stainless build withstands dusty packaging lines, while the -S magnet confirms clamp position via a DMSG sensor.
Ejects processed sample tubes from a testing carousel. The 12.5 kg vertical lift capacity easily handles loaded racks, and the U cover provides compact 90-degree mounting.
When sizing this 15 mm stroke actuator, consider the next bore down (Ø20, 157.0 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or step up to the Ø32 (402.2 N push @0.5 MPa) if your payload exceeds 147 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly without slamming. Note that the cushion only slows the stroke near the end and does not act as a brake.
Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or valves are centered, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the application requires strict load holding. This SKU includes the -S magnet for sensors and utilizes the U back cover for specific 90-degree mounting orientations.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and generates 245.3 N push / 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 343.4 N push / 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. Its theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It includes a piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, but the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not act as a lock. The cylinder will drift on air loss, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
