The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC25X80U is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm 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.
Tuned for rapid cycling, the AirTAC MIC25X80U relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, eliminating the harsh impact typical of bumper-only mini cylinders. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel unit conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
The Ø25 mm 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. With a practical safe working load of roughly 147 N, it lifts about 12.5 kg vertically under a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors, while the U rear cover provides a 90-degree port and mounting orientation.

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 N push force to deflect medium-weight cartons on a high-speed sorting line, relying on the adjustable air cushion to silently stop the 80 mm stroke without jarring the mechanism.
Provides consistent downward pressure for plastic container sealing, where the U rear cover allows a compact 90-degree fitting orientation in a tight packaging cell.
Ejects machined metal components weighing up to 12.5 kg from a fixture, using the stainless steel construction to resist mild washdown spray and shop-floor coolant.
When sizing this 80 mm stroke model, stepping down to the MIC20 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, whereas stepping up to the MIC32 raises it to 402 N. The adjustable air cushion proves essential when driving heavier masses at high speeds, as the needle valve precisely damps end-of-stroke kinetic energy without relying on a fixed bumper.
Because this non-magnetic SKU cannot host position switches, routing and sequencing must be handled externally. Furthermore, the air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke ends; it does not function as a brake. To prevent drift upon air loss or valve centering, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" air 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 increases to 343.4 N and the pull to 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. The variable air cushion at both ends functions only to decelerate the load near stroke end, not to hold position.
