The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X170SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 170mm 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 handles demanding 170 mm strokes with precision. The defining feature of the MIC series is the needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb high-speed shock and reduce noise far better than a fixed bumper. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets, it integrates easily into existing setups. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. With a safe working load around 147 N, it can lift about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The U-style back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation, and the 1/8" port matches the Ø10 mm piston rod.

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.
Uses the 245.3 N push force to deflect parcels on a high-speed sorting line, relying on tuned air cushions to softly stop the 170 mm stroke without jarring the mechanism.
Drives a sealing head up and down continuously, where the adjustable end-cushioning prevents fluid spillage and protects the tooling from shock at rapid cycle rates.
Pushes molded components out of a fixture, using the 12.5 kg vertical lift capacity and stainless construction to withstand mildly humid factory conditions.
When sizing this 245.3 N (0.5 MPa push) unit, dropping down to the MIC20 bore reduces force to 157.0 N, while stepping up to the MIC32 increases it to 402.2 N. Choose this Ø25 model when your load requires moderate thrust and the 170 mm stroke benefits from adjustable end-cushioning to prevent impact at high cycling speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for secure holding. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion, and the -S magnet enables sensor tracking.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to set deceleration, absorbing shock at high speeds, but it acts only as a damper and does not lock the load.
