The AirTAC Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X150CM is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 150mm 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 25 mm bore 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" port, simplifying valve requirements while ensuring the rod fails safely to the retracted position on air loss. The SUS304 stainless round body and riveted aluminium covers form a compact JIS-standard assembly that is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 unit of the same bore and stroke.
The quoted output is already net of the return spring, which demands a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure to overcome. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of about 116 N, or a vertical lift capacity near 9.8 kg with a 2:1 margin. This CM round-end variant travels a full 150 mm stroke, decelerating cleanly on fixed TPU bumper pads, though it lacks the -S magnet needed for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

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.
Pushes stamped parts out of a press bed with 192.8 N at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring to retract the 150 mm stroke between cycles.
Extends to deflect packages on a line, using the single 1/8" port to simplify control while returning to a safe rest position on air loss.
Raises a 9.8 kg workpiece vertically using the push stroke, dropping it back down via spring return without needing a second air line.
When sizing this unit against the MSF family, step down to the 20 mm bore for lighter 117.5 N @0.5 MPa tasks, or step up to the 32 mm bore if you need 323.3 N @0.5 MPa to overcome higher friction. The 25 mm bore hits a solid middle ground for spring-return clamping, ejecting, or gating tasks where air loss must default to a safe retracted state. Keep your supply at or above the 0.2 MPa floor so the spring does not win, and choose LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion mounts to suit your frame. Since this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, position sensing is not possible without upgrading to the magnet-equipped variant.
Quick checklist
It generates 192.8 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 290.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Because it is single-acting with a spring return, the operating pressure must stay between 0.2 and 1.0 MPa; below 0.2 MPa the internal spring overpowers the air and retracts the rod.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing, though both share the same SUS304 stainless barrel, fixed TPU bumpers, and CM round-end cover.
