Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X60CA
The AirTAC Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X60CA is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm 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 MSF25X60CA
Delivering 192.8 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder extends via air pressure and relies on an internal spring to retract. The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers yield a shorter overall envelope than an ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable machine space while resisting mild washdown corrosion. Because it is single-acting, you only plumb a single 1/8" port, and the rod safely fails to the retracted position on air loss.
The quoted output is already net of the return spring, meaning you get true usable thrust. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of roughly 116 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 9.8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host position sensors; adding an -S variant enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable cushion.

Where the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X60CA Is Used
Parts Ejection
Uses the 192.8 N thrust to push machined components out of a fixture, with the spring ensuring the ejector retracts clear on air loss.
Spring-Return Clamping
Secures light workpieces during machining, relying on single-acting air to extend and a mechanical spring to release the clamp safely.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Employs the CA pivot mount to swing a sorting gate on a packaging line, using the 60 mm stroke to redirect product flow.
Is the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X60CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25 mm bore, weigh it against the MSF20, which offers 117.5 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the MSF32 for 323.3 N if your clamp requires more authority. The spring-return design is ideal for ejecting parts or holding gates, but remember the system needs at least 0.2 MPa of supply pressure to overcome the internal spring. Mounting is streamlined by the integrated CA rear pivot, and if you need position feedback, select the -S magnet option to support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
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 MSF25X60CA FAQ
This cylinder generates 192.8 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa and 290.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Because it is single-acting with a spring return, it requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring and extend the rod.
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 position sensing. Additionally, the internal spring drives the rod to the retracted position upon air loss; it will not hold a mid-stroke load.
