The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X230SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 230mm 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.
Dialing in end-of-stroke deceleration is the standout advantage of this AirTAC MIC25X230SCA round-body mini cylinder. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock, protecting your payload and lowering machine noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. Built with a stainless-steel barrel and Ø10 mm piston rod, it shrugs off mild corrosion and washdown environments while delivering a solid 245.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
This double-acting actuator uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Because it uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is present, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing. For vertical moves, expect a safe working load of about 147 N, meaning it lifts roughly 12.5 kg vertically 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.
Handles mid-weight carton diverting at high cycle rates, using the adjustable cushion to softly stop the 230 mm stroke without jarring the conveyor frame.
Lowers 12 kg fixtures smoothly on the downstroke, relying on the needle-set cushion to decelerate the load just before the end of travel.
Applies a steady 245 N clamping force for assembling small components, while the stainless build tolerates light coolant splash.
If you need less force, the smaller Ø20 bore provides a 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø32 bore yields 402 N. The Ø25 bore hits a versatile sweet spot for mid-range tasks. The adjustable air cushion matters most when cycling at high speeds or moving heavier masses, where smoothing the stroke end prevents mechanical damage.
This SKU features a CA rear pivot cover for clevis mounting. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Position sensing requires the built-in magnet to pair with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 343.4 N and the pull is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The MIC features a needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends that decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock. It is not a brake and will not hold a load if air pressure drops; for vertical load holding you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S suffix enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
