Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160CM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160CM 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 MIC25X160CM
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC25X160CM, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built around a stainless-steel barrel and Ø10 mm piston rod. The adjustable air cushion at both ends lets you tune the needle to absorb high-speed shock, protecting your payload and reducing noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. A 160 mm stroke is driven by a 1/8" port, and the rear CM round cover handles specific port and mounting orientation needs.
At 0.5 MPa this Ø25 bore generates 245.3 N of push force and 206.1 N of pull, peaking at a theoretical 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. In practical terms, that translates to a safe working load of roughly 147 N, or enough to lift about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The stainless construction resists mild corrosion and washdown, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for standard mini-cylinder brackets. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160CM Is Used
High-Speed Diverting
Pushes packages at 800 mm/s on a sorting line, relying on the tuned air cushion to stop the 12.5 kg load smoothly without slamming.
Carton Sealing Press
Provides a consistent 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa to fold flaps, while the cushion prevents jarring impacts that could crush the cardboard.
Vertical Lift Gate
Raises a light access panel using the 147 N safe working load, decelerating gently at the top of the 160 mm stroke to protect the hinge mechanism.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160CM the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the Ø20 bore drops push force to 157 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø32 bore increases it to 402 N. This Ø25 model hits a versatile middle ground, and its adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses that would otherwise slam into the end caps. Keep in mind the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end—it does not function as a lock or brake.
Because this is a plain double-acting cylinder, the piston will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. For applications requiring suspended load holding, pair this unit with an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. You can mount it using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets, but remember this non-magnetized version cannot support position sensing.
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 MIC25X160CM FAQ
This Ø25 mm cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It delivers 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 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 cannot support 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 near stroke end, not to hold it in place.
