Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X30CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X30CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm 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 MIC25X30CA
Dialing in end-of-stroke deceleration is the standout advantage of the AirTAC MIC25X30CA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built with a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod. Tuning the needle valves at both ends soaks up high-speed kinetic energy, protecting your payload and cutting workshop noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The CA rear cover provides a robust pivot clevis for articulated rod-end loads, while the 1/8 inch port feeds the Ø10 mm rod to generate 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, this 25 mm bore unit drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. It delivers a safe working load of roughly 147 N, which translates to lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches; add the -S variant if your control system requires sensing.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X30CA Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Snaps a 12 kg machining fixture into place over a 30 mm travel, relying on the tuned air cushion to halt the 245 N thrust smoothly without hammering the workpiece.
High-Speed Diverting
Pivots via the CA clevis to knock lightweight cartons off a belt at high frequency, with the adjustable end cushions absorbing the rapid directional reversals.
Flap Folding
Drives a folding arm on a packaging line where the stainless body resists washdown, while the needle valves soften the stroke to prevent tearing cardboard.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X30CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 245.3 N (at 0.5 MPa) unit, step down to the MIC20 if your payload is under 157 N, or move up to the MIC32 if you need 402.2 N to shift heavier fixtures. The adjustable air cushion matters most when cycling rapidly or moving a heavy mass over the short 30 mm stroke, preventing harsh mechanical impacts. Remember the cushion only decelerates the piston near the end caps; it is not a brake.
If the air supply drops, the piston will drift because a standard cylinder does not hold position. For vertical or suspended loads that must resist gravity on air loss, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Beyond the CA clevis, you can adapt the body using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion 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 MIC25X30CA FAQ
This 25 mm bore cylinder has a 1/8 inch port and a Ø10 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male 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, because this SKU is built without a piston magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select the -S magnet variant for position sensing. The adjustable air cushions at both ends function purely to decelerate the load and are not a locking mechanism.
