About the AirTAC MPEF
The AirTAC MPEF is a single-acting, push-type cylinder with a fully threaded body in Ø6 to Ø16 mm bores and 5, 10 or 15 mm strokes: air pushes the rod out and a spring returns it. It is the embedded type: the threaded body is fitted into a hole in your fixture block, so it needs no mounting accessory.
It is small and light, and several can be fitted close together as a module to save space. The body is nickel-plated brass and the rod stainless steel.

Where the MPEF Is Used
Ejectors and pushers
Pushes small parts off a fixture or out of a die.
Multi-point modules
Several units fit close together in a plate.
Small clamps
A short push that holds a light part in place.
Choosing the Right MPEF Configuration
Choose the bore by the push force you need at 0.5 MPa: Ø6 10.3 N, Ø8 19.9 N, Ø10 33 N, Ø12 47.2 N, Ø16 89.7 N.
Then the stroke: 5, 10 or 15 mm (maximum 15 mm, tolerance +1.0/0 mm).
Rod end: blank is a male thread, N a plain rod.
