The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X175CM 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.
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 175 mm stroke with precision. The adjustable air cushion at both ends allows you to needle-set the deceleration, absorbing high-speed end-of-stroke shock to protect your payload and reduce noise. It features a CM round rear cover and a 1/8" port.
Built with a stainless barrel and rod for mild corrosion resistance, it drops directly into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interfaces. With a 245.3 N push rating, it yields a safe working load of about 147 N, meaning it can lift roughly 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

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 medium-weight cartons on a high-speed sorting line, relying on the adjustable cushion to stop the 175 mm stroke smoothly without slamming.
Drives a folding arm on a packaging machine where the needle-set cushion slows the action at cycle end, preventing damage to cardboard and mechanical joints.
Pushes components into a pallet fixture at rapid cycle rates; the stainless build withstands washdown environments while the cushion absorbs the kinetic energy.
When sizing this actuator, consider the 343.4 N push force available at 0.7 MPa if you need extra margin, or step down to the MIC20 bore which provides 157 N at 0.5 MPa for lighter duties. The adjustable cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it prevents harsh impacts. Remember the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake.
If your application requires the piston to hold its position upon air loss, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as a standard cylinder will drift. For position feedback, select the -S magnet variant to enable switch sensing. You can mount this unit using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware.
Quick checklist
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, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends functions only to decelerate the load near stroke end, not to hold it.
