The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X225CM 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.
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MIC25X225CM is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding motion tasks. It features a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod that resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. The CM round rear cover provides a clean back-end profile for standard port orientation. A 1/8" port feeds the 25 mm bore, yielding a theoretical maximum output of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Unlike standard bumper units, this model uses a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly at high speeds, protecting your machinery and reducing noise. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø25 bores, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. Based on the 0.5 MPa push force, it handles a safe working load of roughly 147 N, lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant.

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 245.3 N push force to deflect packages on a belt line, relying on the adjustable air cushion to silently absorb the 225 mm stroke impact at high cycling speeds.
Drives folding arms on a packaging line where the stainless build resists washdown, while the needle-set cushion prevents jarring stops that would misalign the cardboard.
Raises and lowers light material handling gates, safely lifting roughly 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin before the double-acting air cushion eases the descent.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, stepping down to the MIC20 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, while moving up to the MIC32 raises it to 402 N. Choose this 225 mm stroke model when cycling at high speeds or moving heavier masses where the adjustable end cushions are essential to prevent end-of-stroke shock. If your mechanism requires position holding, remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a damper, never as a lock or brake; the piston will drift on air loss. For suspended or vertical loads that must hold position, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
For mounting flexibility, you can pair the CM back cover with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, or TC trunnion hardware. Because this base unit has no -S magnet, it cannot support position sensing; if your application requires switches, select the -S magnet version to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa it provides 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for sensing capabilities. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the load near the stroke end and does not lock or hold the position.
