Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF20X10CA
The AirTAC Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF20X10CA is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel for mildly corrosive environments. For the same bore and stroke it is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving mounting space.

About the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF20X10CA
Generating 117.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC MSF20X10CA is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for single-acting operation. Air extends the 8 mm rod through a 10 mm stroke, while an internal spring handles the return, meaning you only plumb one 1/8" port. The quoted force is already net of the spring, and the SUS304 stainless barrel shrinks mounting length compared to an ISO 6432 unit while resisting mild washdown.
Because it is a base SKU without a magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. It carries a CA pivot back cover and fixed TPU bumper pads. For sizing context, a safe working load is roughly 71 N, letting it vertically lift or clamp about 6 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF20X10CA Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Clamps light assemblies with a safe working load near 71 N, retracting automatically to release the part when air pressure drops.
Part Ejector
Pushes small components off a conveyor over a 10 mm travel, relying on the internal spring to reset the rod between cycles.
Bin Diverter Gate
Actuates a short diverter flap in packaging lines, using the 1/8" port for simple single-line pneumatic control.
Is the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF20X10CA the Right Cylinder?
If 71 N of safe working load is insufficient, step up to the MSF25, which raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 192.8 N. Since 20 mm is the smallest available bore in this series, there is no smaller MSF option. This single-acting design fits spring-return clamping or ejecting tasks where air loss safely retracts the rod. Ensure your supply meets the 0.2 MPa floor to overcome the spring, and select LB, FA, SDB, or TC mounts to suit your frame.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.2 – 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/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF20X10CA FAQ
It generates 117.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 181.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The operating pressure spans 0.2 to 1.0 MPa, but you must supply at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal return spring.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet required for sensing, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant to enable magnetic position detection.
