The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X450U is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 450mm 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.
Handling mid-range actuation tasks, the AirTAC MIC25X450U relies on a variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate heavy 450 mm strokes smoothly. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder generates 245.3 N of push force and 206.1 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The needle-set cushions soak up high-speed kinetic energy, protecting your payload far better than a fixed rubber bumper. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Featuring a 25 mm bore, a 10 mm piston rod, and a 1/8" port, this unit conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for straightforward bracket interchangeability. The integrated U back cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation. It delivers a safe working load of roughly 147 N, meaning it lifts about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

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.
With a 450 mm stroke and 245 N of thrust, this cylinder reliably pushes medium cartons off a high-speed conveyor belt without slamming at the end of travel.
Lifting a 12.5 kg access gate is well within its 2:1 safety margin, while the adjustable cushion prevents the heavy gate from crashing down at stroke end.
Ejecting molded parts from a washdown-ready press station benefits from the stainless build and the needle-set cushions that absorb rapid ejection forces.
When sizing this 25 mm bore unit, consider stepping down to an MIC20X50 class cylinder (157 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or up to an MIC32X50 class (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your thrust requirements exceed 245 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential here for a 450 mm stroke operating at high speeds, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not function as a lock or brake.
If your application must hold position during a compressed air loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve, because the piston will drift otherwise. This model features a U back cover for 90-degree mounting but ships without a magnet, meaning position sensing is unavailable unless you upgrade to the -S variant.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and a 10 mm rod. 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 of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S magnet variant for position sensing capabilities.
