The AirTAC Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X15SU is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 15mm 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 MSF25X15SU mini cylinder uses air to extend the rod and an internal spring to retract it. Because it is single-acting, you only pipe and valve a single 1/8 inch port, and it fails safely to the retracted position on air loss. The quoted force is already net of the return spring, which requires a 0.2 MPa pressure floor to overcome.
Built as a JIS-standard round-body unit with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting length. The flat U back cover suits tight installations, while the -S suffix adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. With a 15 mm stroke and fixed TPU bumper pads, it provides a safe working load of about 116 N or a 9.8 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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 force at 0.5 MPa to secure light metal parts during machining, with the spring safely retracting the rod when air is removed.
The 15 mm stroke quickly pushes small cartons off a belt, relying on the single 1/8 inch air line for simple valve control.
Raises a 9.8 kg payload with a 2:1 safety margin before the fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the end-of-stroke impact.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, compare it both ways: the MSF20 provides 117.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while the MSF32 offers 323.3 N at 0.5 MPa. This model fits spring-return clamping, ejecting or gating tasks where the load cannot push against the return stroke. Remember the 0.2 MPa operating floor needed to beat the spring. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion, and the included -S magnet enables position sensing.
Quick checklist
It generates 192.8 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 290.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The operating pressure ranges from 0.2 MPa to 1.0 MPa, with a 0.2 MPa floor required to overcome the return spring and a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
No, the spring drives the rod to the retracted rest position on air loss and cannot act as a controllable brake. For a held mid-stroke load use a double-acting MF with an external rod lock. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors to track end positions.
