The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X180SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 180mm 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 mid-range automation tasks with ease. The 25 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Because it carries the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises without custom fabrication.
A defining trait of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock rather than relying on a fixed bumper. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. With a safe working load of about 147 N, it can vertically lift roughly 12.5 kg using a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.

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.
Pushes small to mid-weight cartons at high speed across sorting lanes, using the adjustable cushion to halt the 180 mm stroke gently without bouncing the load.
Drives a sealing jaw with 245.3 N of 0.5 MPa thrust, decelerating smoothly at the crimp point to protect packaging film from tearing.
Raises component trays weighing up to 12.5 kg against gravity, relying on the stainless build for mildly humid storage environments.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, stepping down to the MIC20 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, while stepping up to the MIC32 raises it to 402 N. Choose this 180 mm stroke model for loads approaching the 147 N safe working limit where high travel speeds would otherwise cause a jarring impact. The adjustable cushions excel at decelerating heavy loads smoothly, but they only slow the piston near the stroke end and do not lock the rod. If your process requires the cylinder to hold a load vertically during a total air loss, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
The CA rear pivot cover provides a clevis mounting style ideal for articulating rod-end loads. You can mount it using standard ISO 6432 foot or flange brackets, and the -S magnet enables solid-state or reed sensor tracking along the stainless barrel.
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.
It uses a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly at high speeds, reducing shock and noise. The built-in -S magnet allows you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection.
