The AirTAC Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X100SU is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm 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.
Delivering 192.8 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC MSF25X100SU is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for single-acting operation. Air extends the 10 mm rod through a 100 mm stroke, while an internal spring handles the retraction. Because you only plumb the 1/8" port, valve requirements are halved, and the unit fails to a safe retracted state on air loss. The SUS304 stainless barrel shrinks mounting length compared to an ISO 6432 unit and resists mild washdown corrosion.
The quoted output is already net of the return spring, yielding a safe working load of roughly 116 N or a 9.8 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The U flat-end rear cover simplifies direct mounting, and the -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensing. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable cushion.

Single-acting push: air extends the rod; the return spring retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Uses the 192.8 N push stroke to positively eject machined components from a fixture, relying on the spring to retract the 10 mm rod clear of the workspace.
Holds a workpiece under air pressure, with the internal spring automatically releasing the clamp to a retracted position if the air supply drops.
Extends a 100 mm diverter gate to route products on a line, using the single 1/8" port to simplify valve assembly and control logic.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, compare its 192.8 N @0.5 MPa output against the smaller MSF20 at 117.5 N or the larger MSF32 at 323.3 N. Choose this spring-return configuration for clamping, ejecting or gating tasks where a pneumatic return line is unnecessary. Supply pressure must stay at or above the 0.2 MPa floor to overcome the internal spring. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion brackets to suit your frame.
Quick checklist
It generates 192.8 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 290.9 N at 0.7 MPa. These figures are net of the return spring. Operating pressure ranges from 0.2 to 1.0 MPa, with a 0.2 MPa minimum required to overcome the spring and extend the rod.
No. The internal spring drives the rod to the retracted rest position upon air loss; it cannot hold an arbitrary mid-stroke load. For mid-stroke holding, use a double-acting MF cylinder with an external rod lock. The -S magnet on this unit enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position confirmation.
