Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X236SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X236SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 236mm 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.

About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X236SCA
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder is built for demanding actuation. The 25 mm bore features a 10 mm piston rod, an M10x1.25 male thread, and a 1/8" air port. Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The rear CA pivot cover supplies a clevis mount for articulating rod-end loads.
A defining trait of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both stroke ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the exhaust bleed to decelerate the piston smoothly at high speeds, protecting the machinery and lowering noise compared to a fixed bumper. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, this actuator has a safe working load of about 147 N, lifting roughly 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X236SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 245 N push force to deflect cartons on a high-speed sorting line, relying on the adjustable air cushion to prevent harsh slams during rapid cycling.
Flap Folding
Drives a folding arm on a packaging machine where the 236 mm stroke provides the reach needed to tuck box flaps, with the cushion softening the impact at full extension.
Pallet Stopper
Acts as a pneumatic stop for pallets on a roller conveyor, using its 12.5 kg vertical lift capacity and stainless build to handle washdown zones reliably.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X236SCA the Right Cylinder?
If your application needs less force, the smaller MIC20 bore drops to 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MIC32 yields 402.2 N for heavier payloads. This 25 mm bore hits a strong middle ground. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving substantial mass, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Keep in mind the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If you must prevent drift on air loss, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
The 236 mm stroke falls well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface means it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Pair the built-in magnet with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke confirmation, and utilize the LB, FA, SDB, or TC mounts alongside the CA rear pivot to fit your frame.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure

- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X236SCA FAQ
This 25 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa. 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, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to reduce shock; it acts as neither a brake nor a lock. The piston will drift on air loss. For load holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
