The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X25CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 25mm 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, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder is built for rapid cycling. The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the deceleration to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting the load and reducing noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper.
The Ø25 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. This specific SKU features a CM round rear cover and lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you must specify the -S variant for position sensing. With a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread, it lifts about 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.
Uses the 245 N push force to rapidly divert light packages on a conveyor, relying on the adjustable air cushion to softly stop the diverter arm and prevent product damage.
Folds cardboard flaps at high speed where a fixed bumper would cause jarring impacts; the needle-set cushion ensures smooth, quiet operation over thousands of cycles.
Pushes lightweight pallets or totes into position, utilizing the stainless construction to endure dusty or mildly humid distribution center environments.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, compare it directly against adjacent models. Stepping down to the MIC20 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, while stepping up to the MIC32 increases it to 402.2 N. Choose this 25 mm unit when your application demands roughly 245 N of push force and cycles fast enough that end-of-stroke shock becomes a concern. The dual adjustable cushions are essential for preventing load damage at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of its stroke; it does not act as a lock or brake. If the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load. For mounting flexibility beyond the CM round cover, you can utilize LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 1/8" port and generates 245.3 N push / 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 343.4 N push / 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant (MIC25X25CM-S) to enable magnetic position sensing.
