The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X215SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 215mm 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 precision. The Ø25 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. A built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing, while the rear CA pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting.
Tuned via a needle valve at both ends, the variable air cushion absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock to protect your payload and reduce noise. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 147 N, lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread match standard pneumatic schematics.

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 CA rear clevis to articulate a 12 kg component into a fixture, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent slamming at 215 mm stroke completion.
Swings a routing flap at high cycle rates where the needle-set air cushion absorbs the 245 N end-of-stroke shock, protecting the gate mechanism from wear.
Deploys the stainless steel rod and barrel in damp packaging lines, pushing sealing heads with a safe 147 N working load while resisting mild corrosion.
When sizing this 215 mm stroke unit, step down to the MIC20 (157 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or move up to the MIC32 (402 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need more thrust. The adjustable cushion is essential here: at high speeds or when moving the maximum 12.5 kg vertical load, dialing in the end-of-stroke deceleration prevents impact damage that a fixed bumper cannot absorb.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If air pressure drops or the valve is centered, the rod will drift. For vertical or suspended loads requiring fail-safe holding, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet enables sensor tracking, and the CA rear cover provides a robust pivot point for articulating mechanisms.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 25 mm bore, 215 mm stroke, 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, 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.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake. The cylinder will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical load holding.
