Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X55CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X55CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 55mm 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.

About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X55CA
Built with a stainless-steel round barrel and rod, this double-acting mini cylinder handles mild washdowns while pushing 245.3 N and pulling 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. The CA rear clevis simplifies pivot mounting, and the 1/8" port matches standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder dimensions for easy bracket swaps. A male M10x1.25 rod thread secures your tooling.
Unlike a fixed bumper, the MIC series uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate loads smoothly at speeds up to 800 mm/s, protecting the mechanics and lowering noise. Based on the 0.5 MPa push force, it handles a safe working load of roughly 147 N, lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This base SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG or DMSG switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X55CA Is Used
High-Speed Diverter
Uses the 245.3 N push force to knock parcels off a belt rapidly, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the rod quietly at stroke end.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives a folding arm at speed, where the needle-set cushion prevents jarring impacts that could tear cardboard packaging.
Light Press Assembly
Applies a steady 12.5 kg vertical clamping force to seat small bearings, with the CA clevis accommodating slight misalignment.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X55CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25 mm bore against the range, dropping down to the MIC20 gives 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MIC32 yields 402 N for heavier tooling. Choose this 55 mm stroke model for high-speed moves where the adjustable end cushions absorb kinetic energy. Remember the cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it is not a brake. If you need to prevent drift on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
The CA back cover provides a rear pivot point for angular alignment. Because this specific SKU has no internal magnet, position sensing is impossible here; order the -S variant to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
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 MIC25X55CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes 245.3 N and pulls 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 features a 1/8" air port and a male M10x1.25 piston rod thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches will not function. You must order the -S variant for position sensing. The stainless build resists mild corrosion, and the needle-set air cushions decelerate the load but do not lock it in place.
