The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X625SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 625mm 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.
Built for high-speed actuation where end-of-stroke shock would otherwise damage tooling, the MIC25X625SCA relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly. This double-acting round-body mini cylinder features a stainless-steel barrel and Ø10 mm piston rod, offering mild corrosion resistance for washdown or humid settings. The 625 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length exceeding the 500 mm catalog maximum for this Ø25 bore.
Operating at 0.15 to 1.0 MPa on 1/8 inch ported filtered air, it generates 245.3 N of push and 206.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. This translates to a safe working load of roughly 147 N, capable of lifting about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing, and the CA back cover provides a rear pivot clevis for articulated mounting.

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 knock heavy cartons off a fast belt, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 625 mm rod without slamming.
Extends across a wide web to seal packaging film, where the stainless build resists washdown and the CA clevis accommodates slight misalignment.
Lifts roughly 12.5 kg of stock vertically via the 625 mm stroke, using the rear pivot mount to swing the load into a sorting bin.
When sizing this Ø25 bore, dropping down to the Ø20 MIC yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø32 provides 402 N if your payload exceeds the 147 N safe working load calculated here. The adjustable air cushion is essential if you are cycling near the 800 mm/s maximum speed, as it absorbs kinetic energy that a fixed bumper cannot. Because this unit uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Position feedback requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, which mount seamlessly thanks to the -S magnet option included here.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8 inch air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. The needle-set air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of the stroke; they do not lock or hold position. If air pressure drops, the rod will drift. You must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
