The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X25CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MIC32X25CM is a double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder built for demanding actuation. It features a 32 mm bore, a 25 mm stroke, and a CM round rear cover for flexible mounting orientation. The stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion, making it suitable for washdown environments.
Unlike standard bumper cylinders, this model utilizes a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, reducing noise and protecting the load. Operating at speeds of 30-800 mm/s with a 1/4" port, it provides a safe working load of roughly 241 N. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept position sensors; adding the -S variant enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. Note: the Ø32 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.

| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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.
Cushions the 402 N impact when rapidly sorting heavier packages at 800 mm/s, preventing end-cap damage on conveyor lines.
Provides the 241 N safe working load needed to hold flaps closed, with the CM cover allowing easy rear pivot mounting.
Drives a 20.5 kg assembly fixture into place smoothly, relying on the adjustable needle cushion to avoid crushing delicate parts.
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, stepping down to the MIC25X50 yields 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MIC40X50 provides 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm model when your application requires approximately 241 N of safe working load or needs to lift about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The adjustable air cushion is essential if you are moving heavy loads at high velocities, as it decelerates the piston smoothly without bouncing.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end and does not function as a brake. If the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. This version uses a CM round end cover and, because it lacks the -S magnet designation, it cannot support magnetic sensing switches.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and generates 402.2 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push / 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The stainless build offers mild corrosion resistance, and the air cushion only decelerates the load; it is not a locking brake.
