Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X280CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X280CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 280mm 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 MIC25X280CA
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MIC25X280CA is a double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder built for a 280 mm stroke. A needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and reducing noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments.
This Ø25 bore 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 and clevises. With a 245.3 N push force, it handles a safe working load of roughly 147 N, lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The rear CA pivot cover simplifies articulated rod-end loading. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without switching to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X280CA Is Used
High-Speed Diverting
Uses the 245.3 N push force to deflect packages on a belt line, relying on the adjustable air cushion to softly stop the 280 mm stroke at high cycle rates without slamming.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives folding arms on packaging machinery where the CA pivot mount accommodates swing geometry and the needle-set cushion prevents tearing cardboard at stroke end.
Light Lift Gates
Raises and lowers light material handling gates, safely lifting loads up to 12.5 kg vertically while the stainless build resists humid warehouse conditions.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X280CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 280 mm stroke unit, consider the adjacent bores in the MIC family. Dropping down to the Ø20 bore reduces the push force to 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø32 bore increases it to 402.2 N. Choose this Ø25 model for medium-force tasks operating at high speeds where the adjustable air cushion is essential to prevent end-of-stroke impact damage.
The cushion needle only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it is not a brake. If the load must hold position during a loss of air pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve, as the piston will drift. For mounting flexibility, pair the CA rear pivot cover with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block or TC trunnion hardware. Because this specific SKU has no -S suffix, magnetic position sensing is unavailable.
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 MIC25X280CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 25 mm bore, a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. 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 force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches will not function. You must select the MIC25X280CA-S variant to enable magnetic sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends remains fully functional and is tuned via a needle valve.
