About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X500SCM
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder tackles heavier duty cycles while smoothing out rapid strokes. The MIC25X500SCM features an adjustable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock, protect the payload, and reduce noise compared to fixed bumper designs. Its stainless barrel and piston rod supply mild corrosion resistance for washdown or humid settings.
Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø8-Ø25 bores, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (the -S option) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing, and a CM round rear cover. With a 500 mm stroke, it hits the maximum standard stroke limit for this bore size. The 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread provide robust pneumatic and mechanical connections. In practice, it yields a safe working load of roughly 147 N, lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X500SCM Is Used
Long-Stroke Diverting
Pushes packages across a conveyor belt over a 500 mm span, using the adjustable air cushion to silently stop the 245 N push force without jarring the mechanism.
Vertical Material Lowering
Safely lowers a 12.5 kg fixture along a 500 mm vertical drop, relying on the tuned cushion to decelerate the load smoothly at the bottom of the stroke.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives a 500 mm arm to fold large corrugated carton flaps at high speed, where the stainless rod resists factory humidity and the cushion prevents tearing.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X500SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25 mm bore, stepping down to the MIC20 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, whereas moving up to the MIC32 raises it to 402.2 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential here if you are driving a 500 mm stroke at high speed, as the extended travel amplifies end-of-stroke kinetic energy. You can dial in the deceleration precisely to prevent mechanical slamming.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load. For mounting flexibility, you can pair the CM back cover with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors.
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 MIC25X500SCM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 25 mm bore, a 1/8" port, and a 500 mm stroke (the maximum standard stroke for this bore). 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 to reduce shock; it is not a brake or lock. If air is lost, the piston will drift. To hold a suspended load, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This -S model does include a magnet for CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors.
