Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X10U
The AirTAC Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X10U 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 MSF25X10U
Generating 192.8 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC MSF25X10U mini cylinder is built for short-stroke ejection and clamping tasks. As a single-acting push type, compressed air extends the 10 mm rod through a 10 mm stroke, while an internal spring handles the return. This means you only plumb one 1/8" port, simplifying valve requirements. The quoted force is already net of the spring resistance, and the unit requires at least 0.2 MPa of supply pressure to overcome the return mechanism.
The JIS-standard round-body construction utilizes a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers, offering a shorter overall mounting length than an equivalent ISO 6432 cylinder. It stops on fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable cushion. For practical sizing, the 192.8 N output translates to a safe working load of roughly 116 N, or the ability to vertically lift and hold about 9.8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without switching to an -S variant. The U suffix denotes a flat-end rear cover.

Where the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X10U Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Delivers 192.8 N of push at 0.5 MPa to secure light workpieces, relying on the internal spring to release the clamp automatically when air is cut.
Parts Ejection
Uses the 10 mm stroke to knock small components off a line, safely defaulting to the retracted rest position if the air supply drops.
Divertor Gate
Actuates a lightweight routing flap with a safe working load around 116 N, using the flat-end U cover for straightforward flush mounting.
Is the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X10U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25 mm bore, compare it directly against its neighbors: the MSF20 provides 117.5 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while stepping up to the MSF32 yields 323.3 N for heavier resistance. Single-acting spring-return cylinders excel in simple clamping, gating, or ejection duties where the load must fail safe to the retracted position on air loss. Just ensure your supply stays at or above the 0.2 MPa floor, otherwise the spring will overpower the air and the rod will not extend. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets to fit 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 MSF25X10U FAQ
The 25 mm bore generates a push force of 192.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 290.9 N at 0.7 MPa. These figures are net of the internal spring. You must supply at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring, with a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. Additionally, the spring only drives the rod to the retracted position on air loss; it will not hold a mid-stroke load.
