The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X400SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 400mm 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, the AirTAC MIC25X400SU is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding long-stroke tasks. Its stainless-steel barrel and Ø10 mm piston rod provide mild corrosion resistance for washdown environments. The integrated piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise end-position detection, while the U back cover provides a 90-degree mounting and port orientation. A 1/8" port supplies the air.
The defining feature of this ISO 6432 mounting-interface unit is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the deceleration to soak up high-speed shock over the 400 mm travel, protecting the load and cutting noise versus a fixed bumper. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of roughly 147 N, meaning 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 245.3 N thrust to push heavy cartons off a high-speed belt, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent slamming at the 400 mm stroke end.
Raises a lightweight access panel, safely lifting about 12.5 kg while the stainless build resists humid warehouse air.
Ejects machined parts from a fixture, using the needle-set deceleration to softly stop the load without damaging delicate surfaces.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, stepping down to a MIC20 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, whereas moving up to a MIC32 bore raises it to 402.2 N. The adjustable cushion is essential here: at high speeds over the 400 mm stroke, the needle-set deceleration prevents harsh end-of-travel impacts. Note that the cushion only slows the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake or lock. If the application must hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position feedback.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 25 mm bore, a 400 mm stroke, and a 1/8" port. It generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 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 and is not a brake or lock. The piston will drift on air loss. To hold a load, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
