Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X10CM
The AirTAC Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X10CM is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm 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 MSF25X10CM
Delivering 192.8 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC MSF25X10CM mini cylinder uses compressed air to extend the rod and an internal spring to retract it. Because it is single-acting, you only pipe and valve one 1/8" port, which simplifies assembly and ensures the rod fails to the retracted position on air loss. The SUS304 stainless round body and riveted aluminium covers form a compact JIS-standard unit that is shorter than an equivalent ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length.
The quoted force is already net of the return spring, meaning you get that full output at the rod thread (M10x1.25). For practical sizing, a safe working load is about 116 N, or roughly 9.8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. It relies on fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration across its 10 mm travel.

Where the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X10CM Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Uses the 192.8 N push force to secure light workpieces against a stop, with the spring automatically opening the clamp when air is removed.
Package Ejector
Ideal for popping small cartons off a belt; the 10 mm stroke and fail-safe retraction keep the path clear during system downtime.
Diverter Gate
Actuates a short routing flap on a packaging line, relying on the compact JIS body to fit within tight conveyor frame clearances.
Is the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X10CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25 mm bore model, compare it both ways: step down to the MSF20 for 117.5 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the MSF32 for 323.3 N at 0.5 MPa. This MSF25X10CM fits applications needing a spring-return action, such as clamping or ejecting, but remember the system pressure must stay at or above the 0.2 MPa floor to overcome the spring. The CM round-end back cover suits direct pivot mounting, and you can pair it with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets.
Because this exact configuration ships without a magnet, it cannot host magnetic switches. If your ejector or gate requires position confirmation, select the -S variant to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Also note that while the spring safely retracts the rod on air loss, it cannot hold a mid-stroke load; use a double-acting MF with an external rod lock for that.
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 MSF25X10CM FAQ
This single-acting cylinder generates 192.8 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 290.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Because it is spring-return, the pressure must not drop below 0.2 MPa, or the spring will win and prevent extension.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The spring returns the rod to rest on air loss but will not hold a mid-stroke load.
