The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X250CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 250mm 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 MIC25X250CA is a double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder built for a 250 mm stroke. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the deceleration needle to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload while cutting noise. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
This Ø25 bore unit uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. With a safe working load around 147 N, it can vertically lift about 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; specify the -S variant if you require position sensing.

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 light packaging on a fast belt, while the adjustable cushion prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts.
Ejects machined components at speed, relying on the needle-set air cushion to bring the rod to a smooth, quiet stop.
Lifts a 12.5 kg access gate with a 2:1 margin, using the CA pivot mount to accommodate the swing geometry.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, stepping down to the MIC20 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, while stepping up to the MIC32 raises it to 402 N. Choose this 245 N class when moving moderate masses, and rely on the adjustable air cushion specifically when operating at high speeds or slamming heavy loads. The CA rear pivot cover suits articulated rod-end connections.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Furthermore, because this base SKU has no magnet, it cannot support magnetic switches.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 25 mm bore, a 250 mm stroke, and a 1/8" port. It generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock, but it does not lock or hold the load on air loss.
