The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X50U 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 double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder brings needle-set air cushioning to both stroke ends. Tuning the cushion lets you decelerate heavy loads smoothly at high speeds, actively reducing shock and noise compared to fixed-bumper designs. The Ø25 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Built with a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod for mild corrosion and washdown resistance, it features a 1/8" port, an M10x1.25 male rod thread, and a U-style 90-degree rear cover for specific mounting orientations. With a 245.3 N push force, it handles a safe working load of roughly 147 N, lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant.

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.
Pushes light-to-medium cartons at high cycle rates on a sorting line, using the adjustable cushion to prevent harsh impacts at the stroke end.
Applies a consistent 245 N clamping force to seal containers, with the needle-set cushion ensuring the press decelerates smoothly before bottoming out.
Ejects finished components from a machining area, leveraging the 12.5 kg vertical lift capacity and stainless build to handle washdown environments.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, step down to the MIC20 if your load is lighter (it provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa), or move up to the MIC32 for heavier payloads (402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa). The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving substantial mass, allowing you to dial in the exact deceleration needed to protect the mechanism. This U-cover model suits compact 90-degree mounting layouts.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a suspended load. Because this specific SKU has no internal magnet, position sensing is impossible—select the -S version if your application requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and generates 245.3 N push / 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 343.4 N push / 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. Its theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include an internal magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must choose the -S magnet variant for sensing. The stainless build offers mild corrosion resistance, and the adjustable air cushion decelerates the load but does not lock it.
