Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X500SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X500SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 500mm 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 MIC25X500SCA
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder handles long 500 mm strokes with precision. The Ø25 bore uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The CA rear cover provides a pivot clevis for articulated mounting.
A defining feature is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds up to 800 mm/s. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Based on the 0.5 MPa push force, it handles a safe working load of roughly 147 N, lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X500SCA Is Used
High-Speed Diverting
Uses the adjustable end cushions to smoothly stop the 500 mm stroke at 800 mm/s when sorting packages on a conveyor line.
Carton Forming
Provides 245.3 N of push force to fold corrugated flaps, relying on the stainless build for mildly humid packing areas.
Pallet Loading
Lifts roughly 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, using the CA pivot clevis to articulate the push arm smoothly.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X500SCA the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the Ø20 MIC bore pushes 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø32 bore pushes 402.2 N if you need more thrust. Choose this Ø25 model when moving loads at high speed where the adjustable air cushion is essential to prevent impact damage. The cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not function as a brake.
A plain double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or a valve is centered, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load. This SKU includes the -S magnet for sensors and the CA clevis back cover, alongside standard LB, FA, SDB and TC mounting options.
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 MIC25X500SCA FAQ
This Ø25 bore 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, 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.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The needle-set air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end to reduce shock, but they do not lock or hold the load.
