Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X280SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X280SCA 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 MIC25X280SCA
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder handles demanding 280 mm stroke tasks. The Ø25 bore conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, ensuring easy integration with standard mini brackets and clevises. A built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. The rear CA pivot cover supplies a robust clevis mount for articulating loads.
Unlike fixed bumper models, the MIC series features an adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb high-speed shock, protecting the load and reducing noise. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For vertical lifting, expect a safe working load of about 147 N, which lifts roughly 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread match standard pneumatic setups.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X280SCA Is Used
High-Speed Diverting
Uses the 245 N push force to rapidly deflect packages on a conveyor, relying on the adjustable air cushion to silently stop the 280 mm stroke without slamming.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives folding arms at high speed into position, where the precision needle cushion absorbs the end-of-stroke shock to prevent crushing the cardboard packaging.
Articulated Gate Control
Leverages the CA rear pivot cover to swing a sorting gate, safely moving loads up to 12.5 kg vertically while the stainless build resists humid ambient conditions.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X280SCA the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, the smaller Ø20 MIC bore provides 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø32 bore yields 402 N for heavier payloads. Choose this Ø25 model for medium-duty cycling where high speeds create impact stress that a rubber bumper cannot adequately absorb. The adjustable cushion needle lets you dial in the exact deceleration rate required to protect your machinery.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function 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 safely. This SKU includes the -S magnet for sensors and uses the CA rear pivot cover, so pair it with compatible CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches and appropriate clevis hardware.
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 MIC25X280SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features 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, increasing to 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. 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 is not a brake or lock. If air pressure is lost, the piston will drift. For holding suspended loads, you must use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
