The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X175SCA 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 is built for rapid actuation. The Ø25 bore uses a 1/8 inch port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The CA rear pivot cover supplies a robust clevis mount for articulated rod-end loads.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both stroke ends let you needle-set the deceleration to eliminate end-of-travel banging at high cycling speeds. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Derived from its 0.5 MPa push rating, the safe working load is roughly 147 N, lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini-cylinder brackets.

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 N thrust to push parcels cleanly across transfer plates without slamming at stroke end.
Drives folding flaps at high tempo; the needle-set cushions absorb the shock to protect the tooling.
Lifts roughly 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, positioning lighter components for pallet builds.
If your payload is lighter, the Ø20 MIC bore drops thrust to 157 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø32 bore raises push force to 402.2 N for heavier mechanisms. This Ø25 model strikes a middle ground, and its adjustable cushions shine when cycling the full 175 mm stroke at high speed with a substantial payload. The cushion only decelerates the piston near the end caps and does not function as a brake. Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a suspended load safely in place.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 1/8 inch air port. It generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It features adjustable air cushions at both ends that you tune with a needle to decelerate high-speed loads. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The cushion only slows the piston near the end of travel and does not lock the load.
