About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X260SCM
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MIC25X260SCM is a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder built for demanding motion control. It features a 25 mm bore, a 260 mm stroke, and a CM round rear cover for straightforward port orientation. A 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread ensure solid pneumatic and mechanical connections. The stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Unlike standard bumper units, this model uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and reducing noise. It yields a safe working load of roughly 147 N and can vertically lift about 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The integrated -S piston magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X260SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 245.3 N thrust to push parcels at high speed onto adjacent lines, relying on the adjustable cushion to stop the rod smoothly without jarring the belt.
Carton Sealing Press
Drives a sealing head down on boxes, using the 12.5 kg vertical lift capacity and end cushions to prevent crushing the cardboard at the bottom of the stroke.
Parts Ejection
Ejects machined components from a fixture in damp environments, benefiting from the stainless build and the CM rear cover for tight clearance mounting.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X260SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25 mm bore unit, 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 model when cycling at high speeds where the adjustable air cushion is essential to prevent impact damage. It uses the ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. You can mount it via LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not function as a lock or brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift and cannot hold a load. For secure vertical positioning, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet enables sensor use, whereas a plain SKU without the S suffix cannot accept switches.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ 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 MIC25X260SCM FAQ
This 25 mm bore cylinder pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 343.4 N and pull is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
No, the needle-set air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and is not a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift. To hold a load securely, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
