The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X225CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 225mm 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.
Tackle high-speed actuation with the AirTAC MIC25X225CA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built on a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø25 bores, dropping cleanly into standard mini brackets. The CA rear cover provides a pivot clevis for articulated loads. A 1/8" port feeds the 10mm piston rod.
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it lifts about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin and handles a safe working load near 147 N. Its defining trait over a standard bumper cylinder is the adjustable air cushion at both ends: a needle valve lets you dial in deceleration to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speed. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/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.
Handles fast diverting of 12 kg cartons on a conveyor, using the adjustable cushion to softly stop the 225mm stroke without jarring the package.
Secures articulated fixtures via the CA clevis, applying 245 N of clamping push while the stainless body resists coolant mist.
Raises and lowers light access gates, safely moving the 147 N working load with needle-tuned end-of-stroke deceleration.
When sizing this 25mm bore against the range, dropping down to the MIC20 yields 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MIC32 provides 402 N. Choose this 225mm stroke model for fast traverses where the adjustable cushion is essential to prevent slamming. Because this is a non-magnet SKU, position sensing is unavailable; add the -S variant if you need CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The CA clevis mount suits pivoting mechanisms.
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, the rod will drift. For vertical or suspended loads that must stay put during air loss, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 25mm bore, a 10mm rod, and a 1/8" port. 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, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features an adjustable air cushion at both ends and operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
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 stainless-steel build and adjustable cushions are present, but the cushion only decelerates the load and will not hold it in place if air pressure is lost.
