The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X20SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 20mm 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 adjustable air cushion at both ends allows you to tune the deceleration needle, effectively absorbing end-of-stroke shock at high speeds to protect your payload and reduce noise. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it suitable for washdown environments.
Featuring a 25 mm bore, a 20 mm stroke, and a 1/8" port, the unit conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for straightforward bracket integration. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing, while the CM round rear cover provides flexible port and mounting orientation. With a safe working load of roughly 147 N, it can vertically lift about 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

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.
Rapidly sorts lightweight packages on a conveyor belt, using the adjustable cushion to softly stop the diverter arm without jarring the mechanism.
Pushes small mechanical parts into fixtures on an assembly line, relying on the 245.3 N thrust to seat components firmly and accurately.
Folds cardboard flaps on an automated packaging machine, where the stainless steel construction withstands occasional washdowns and dust.
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the MIC20 bore if your application requires less force, as it provides 157.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, if you need more power, the larger MIC32 bore offers 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion is essential when operating at the maximum 800 mm/s speed or moving heavy loads, preventing harsh impacts at the 20 mm stroke end.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a lock or brake. If the load must be held in place during an air loss event, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. You can pair this -S magnet model with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and mount it using standard LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion hardware.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 245.3 N of push and 206.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 343.4 N of push and 288.5 N of pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S designation means it has a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The needle-set air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake. For holding a load on air loss, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
