The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X50SCAG is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm 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, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder integrates a needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The Ø25 bore uses a 1/8" port and conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. A built-in magnet (-S) enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor tracking, while the CA rear clevis and G port thread tailor it for pivoting assemblies.
Derived from its 0.5 MPa push rating, the safe working load is roughly 147 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The riveted stainless barrel and M10x1.25 rod resist mild washdown corrosion. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end; it does not function as a brake, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required to hold position on air loss.

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 push force to deflect packages on a fast belt, relying on the adjustable air cushion to soften the stroke end and protect the mechanism from shock.
Employs the 12.5 kg vertical lift capacity to fold heavy cardboard flaps rapidly, tuning the needle cushion to prevent crushing the carton at bottom dead center.
Leverages the CA rear clevis to swing a heavy parts gate on a production line, using the ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for straightforward bracket integration.
When sizing this 50 mm stroke unit, consider the adjacent bores: stepping down to the Ø20 MIC yields 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø32 MIC provides 402 N. Choose this Ø25 model for applications needing around 147 N of safe working force at high cycling speeds where the dual adjustable cushions can be tuned to minimize impact noise. The CA back cover supplies a rear pivot point for clevis mounting.
Because the cushion needles only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends, they will not hold a load vertically if air pressure drops. To prevent drift, install a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod lock. Position sensing requires the integrated -S magnet; a non-magnet SKU cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has 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 indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. However, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it is not a brake. You must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load vertically upon air loss.
