Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160CA
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder is built for rapid actuation. The 25 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. A defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you needle-set the deceleration to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting the load and cutting noise.
The stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for mini cylinders, it drops into standard brackets easily. This CA back-cover variant adds a rear pivot for clevis mounting. With a 245.3 N push force, it yields a safe working load of roughly 147 N, lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160CA Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 245.3 N push force to deflect parcels on a high-speed sorting line, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 160 mm stroke smoothly without slamming.
Flap Folding
Drives a carton flap folder where the CA rear pivot allows angular alignment, while the needle-set cushion softens the impact at cycle rates approaching 800 mm/s.
Light Pallet Stops
Acts as a pneumatic stop for light goods trolleys, using its 12.5 kg vertical lift capacity to raise gates, with the stainless build surviving damp dock environments.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, step down to the MIC20 (157 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or step up to the MIC32 (402.2 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need more thrust. The adjustable air cushion is essential here if you are moving heavier masses at high speeds, as it smooths the 160 mm stroke end without fixed bumper bounce. For vertical or suspended loads, remember the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold position on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve. This specific SKU has no magnet and cannot support position sensing; choose the -S variant if you need CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160CA FAQ
This 25 mm bore cylinder features 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 therefore cannot support CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a lock or brake.
