The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X525SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 525mm 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.
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC25X525SCA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed actuation. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs kinetic energy, protecting your payload far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø10 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because this is a Ø25 bore, it drops directly into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interfaces. The 525 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length exceeding the 500 mm maximum, and the rear CA pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting.
At 0.5 MPa, this unit pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N, yielding a safe working load of roughly 147 N. That translates to lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/8" air port feeds the 30-800 mm/s speed range. Since the SKU includes the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

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.
Use the 245.3 N push force and tuned air cushions to swiftly divert packages on a conveyor without jarring the mechanics at the stroke ends.
Lower 12 kg fixtures smoothly using the adjustable cushion to absorb the kinetic energy built over the 525 mm travel, preventing sudden drops.
Deploy the stainless steel round-body construction in mildly corrosive lab environments, relying on the CA rear pivot for smooth articulation.
When sizing this class, step down to the Ø20 bore (157.0 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or move up to the Ø32 bore (402.2 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need substantially more force. The adjustable air cushion is essential here: a 525 mm stroke builds significant momentum, and dialing the needle valves prevents harsh end-of-stroke slamming at high speeds. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not lock the load. If air pressure drops, the rod will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Pair the -S magnet with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for sensing, and utilize LB, FA, SDB, or TC mounts alongside the CA rear pivot.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 343.4 N and pull is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and features a 525 mm non-standard stroke.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The variable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; they do not act as a brake or lock. The rod will drift on air loss, so use a pilot check valve for holding.
