Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160SCA 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 MIC25X160SCA
High-speed automation gets noticeably quieter when you deploy the AirTAC MIC25X160SCA, because its integrated needle valves bleed trapped air to decelerate the piston at both stroke ends instead of slamming into a rubber bumper. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder pairs a 25 mm bore with a 160 mm stroke, pushing 245.3 N and pulling 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. The corrosion-resistant barrel and rod shrug off mild washdown environments, while the CA rear pivot cover supplies a robust clevis mount for articulated linkages.
Dropping into standard brackets via its ISO 6432 mounting interface, this unit uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is installed, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches to track your load. For vertical moves, expect a safe working lift of about 12.5 kg with a 2:1 margin, translating to a roughly 147 N effective payload at 0.5 MPa.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 245.3 N push force to deflect medium-weight cartons at high cycle rates, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent harsh impacts when reversing the 160 mm stroke.
Light Pressing
Applies up to 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa to seat bearings or pins, where the CA pivot mount accommodates slight misalignment and the stainless rod resists shop-floor fluids.
Vertical Lifting
Hoists components up to 12.5 kg in pick-and-place cells, using the 1/8" port for rapid actuation and the needle valves to soften the bottoming impact.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X160SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 245.3 N (0.5 MPa) unit, stepping down to the Ø20 MIC drops push force to 157 N, whereas jumping up to the Ø32 MIC yields 402 N—choose based on your true payload. The adjustable air cushion is essential if you are cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it prevents end-of-stroke impact damage that a standard MI bumper cannot absorb. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the load; it does not lock the rod. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding.
The CA back cover provides a rear pivot pin for swinging loads, complementing available LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion options. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without modifying the cylinder.
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 MIC25X160SCA FAQ
This 25 mm bore, 160 mm stroke double-acting cylinder pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 343.4 N and pull is 288.5 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male piston rod thread.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. The rod will drift if pressure drops. For vertical loads, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to confirm position.
