About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X5CA
Designed for high-speed actuation, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder uses an adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, eliminating the harsh impact of a fixed bumper. The Ø25 bore generates 245.3 N of push force and 206.1 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for mini cylinders, it drops directly into standard brackets and clevises. This specific configuration features a CA rear pivot cover and a 5 mm stroke. With a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread, it provides a safe working load of roughly 147 N, lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X5CA Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Ideal for holding parts during machining, using the 245 N push force to secure components firmly over a 5 mm travel without bouncing.
Package Diverting
Snaps out to deflect light cartons on a conveyor line, relying on the adjustable air cushion to silently absorb the impact at high cycle rates.
Part Ejection
Ejects molded or stamped parts rapidly from a fixture, where the stainless build resists shop debris and the cushion prevents end-of-stroke shock.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X5CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 5 mm stroke unit, step down to the MIC20 (157 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or move up to the MIC32 (402 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need substantially more force. The adjustable needle cushions are essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as they absorb kinetic energy that would otherwise damage the mechanism. Keep in mind the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end—it does not lock or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift; for secure position holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion, while the CA rear cover provides a fixed clevis interface.
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 MIC25X5CA FAQ
This Ø25 mm bore cylinder has a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. 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 pull is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU does not have a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you must select the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to trap and bleed exhaust air, decelerating the piston smoothly at high speeds. It is a shock absorber, not a brake.
