Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF20X60CM
The AirTAC Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF20X60CM is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm 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 MSF20X60CM
Generating 117.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this MSF20X60CM mini cylinder uses compressed air to extend the rod and an internal spring to retract it. Because it is single-acting, you only plumb one 1/8 inch port, which simplifies valve requirements and ensures the rod fails to the retracted position on air loss. The quoted force is already net of the return spring.
Built as a JIS-standard round-body unit with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it occupies a shorter envelope than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 20 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. This specific configuration uses a CM round-end rear cover. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of roughly 71 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 6 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF20X60CM Is Used
Parts Ejection
Use the 117.5 N push stroke to eject light machined parts from a fixture, relying on the spring to reset the rod automatically.
Light Clamping
Secure thin workpieces with a safe working load of 71 N, knowing the clamp retracts safely if compressed air is lost.
Gate Diverting
Actuate a lightweight diverter gate on a conveyor; the single 1/8 inch port keeps the pneumatic plumbing minimal.
Is the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF20X60CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, step up to the MSF25 if you need more force (192.8 N at 0.5 MPa), as no smaller MSF bore exists. Single-acting push operation is ideal for simple clamping, ejecting, or gating tasks where the spring return handles the unpowered stroke. Maintain at least 0.2 MPa of supply pressure to overcome the internal spring. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.
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 MSF20X60CM FAQ
It delivers a net push force of 117.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 181.3 N at 0.7 MPa. Because it is single-acting with a spring return, you must supply at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal spring and extend the rod.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. To use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches, you must select the -S variant of the MSF series. Additionally, the fixed TPU bumper pads provide end-of-stroke deceleration, and the SUS304 stainless barrel offers mild washdown resistance.
