Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X175CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X175CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 175mm 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 MIC25X175CA
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC25X175CA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built around a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends. Rather than slamming into a fixed bumper, this stainless-steel riveted barrel and rod assembly lets you tune the exhaust bleed to smoothly absorb high-speed kinetic energy, protecting your payload and dropping noise. The Ø25 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N, yielding a practical safe working load of roughly 147 N. Vertically, that translates to lifting about 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU features a CA rear pivot cover for clevis mounting but ships without a magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors unless you step up to the -S variant. Air enters via a 1/8" port, driving the M10x1.25 male rod thread across the 175 mm stroke.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X175CA Is Used
High-Speed Diverting
Tuned cushioning absorbs the impact of rapidly routing 12 kg cartons at 800 mm/s without slamming the rear cap.
Clamp and Release
Provides a reliable 245 N clamp on packaging flaps, with the exhaust needle softening the extend stop to protect delicate seals.
Pivot Gate Actuation
The CA rear clevis pairs with the ISO 6432 body to swing heavy flow-guide gates smoothly on automated sortation lines.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X175CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 245.3 N @0.5 MPa unit, dropping down to the Ø20 MIC bore cuts push force to 157 N, while stepping up to the Ø32 MIC jumps it to 402 N. Choose this Ø25 if your load sits right in that middle band. The adjustable air cushion proves its worth when you are cycling near the 800 mm/s upper speed limit or moving a heavier mass, letting you tweak the needle so the piston decelerates cleanly instead of shocking the rear cap.
Because this is a plain double-acting cylinder, it will not hold position if air pressure drops or the valve centers—the rod drifts, and the cushion only decelerates near stroke end rather than acting as a lock. For suspended or gravity-loaded applications, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The CA back cover supplies a rear pivot point, and remember this non-magnet SKU cannot accept position 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 MIC25X175CA FAQ
This Ø25 bore cylinder uses a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa push increases to 343.4 N and pull to 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches will not function. You must select the -S variant for sensing. The stainless build resists mild washdown, and the needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the stroke—it is not a braking lock.
