About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X500U
Built for high-speed actuation over a long 500 mm travel, the AirTAC MIC25X500U is a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder. It delivers a robust 245.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for moving heavier fixtures. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because this bore is Ø25, it conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping easily into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to eliminate shock and noise at high speeds, protecting your payload far better than a fixed rubber bumper. For sizing, this cylinder offers a safe working load of about 147 N (roughly 60% of its 0.5 MPa push force) and lifts about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The U-style back cover provides a 90-degree port and mounting orientation, and the air port is 1/8".

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X500U Is Used
High-Speed Diverters
Use the 245.3 N push force and tuned end-cushions to rapidly divert heavier packages along a 500 mm stroke without slamming the end caps.
Vertical Lowering Arms
Lift or lower loads up to 12.5 kg safely; the adjustable cushion slows the descent at the end of travel, though a pilot check valve is needed to hold the load.
Washdown Test Rigs
The stainless steel round-body construction handles mild washdowns in test environments while the ISO 6432 dimensions simplify bracket mounting.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X500U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 500 mm stroke model, consider stepping down to the MIC20 bore if your load is lighter, which provides 157.0 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need more thrust, stepping up to the MIC32 yields 402.2 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential here: at a 500 mm stroke, speeds can easily reach the 30-800 mm/s range, and tuning the needle valves prevents violent end-of-stroke impacts. Keep in mind the cushion only decelerates the load; it is not a brake. If the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical loads. Finally, if your application requires end-of-stroke sensing, select the -S magnet variant instead of this non-magnet SKU to support CMSG, DMSG, or 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 MIC25X500U FAQ
The MIC25X500U has a 25 mm bore and a 1/8" air port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 343.4 N and the pull is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. The cylinder does feature a U-style 90-degree back cover and adjustable air cushions at both ends to manage high-speed shock.
