The AirTAC Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X70U is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 70mm 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.
Generating 192.8 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC MSF25X70U mini cylinder uses compressed air to extend the rod while an internal spring handles the retraction. Because it is single-acting, you only need to plumb one 1/8" port, which simplifies valve requirements and ensures the rod fails safely to the retracted position on air loss. The SUS304 stainless round barrel and riveted aluminium covers form a compact JIS-standard body that is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 unit of the same 25 mm bore and 70 mm stroke.
The quoted thrust is already net of the return spring, meaning you get that full force at the rod end. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of roughly 116 N, or enough to vertically lift and clamp about 9.8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU features a flat-end U back cover and lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable cushion.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MF/MFC (JIS-standard) datasheet. Barrel: SUS304 stainless steel; covers: aluminum alloy (round-body, riveted rolling-packed construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 192.8 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 290.9 N |
Single-acting push: air extends the rod; the return spring retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×70 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
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.
Delivers 192.8 N of push at 0.5 MPa to secure parts, automatically releasing to a safe retracted state if air pressure drops below the 0.2 MPa floor.
Uses a 70 mm stroke to push items off a line; the single 1/8" port minimizes tubing complexity on moving conveyor frames.
Provides a safe working load of about 116 N, ideal for raising light access gates that safely lower via spring return during a pneumatic failure.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, compare it both ways: the smaller MSF20 yields 117.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MSF32 provides 323.3 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose this model when your task requires a spring-return action, such as clamping or ejecting, and ensure your supply stays at or above the 0.2 MPa floor needed to overcome the internal spring. Mounting is versatile with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion options, and remember that this non-magnetized version cannot support position sensing.
Quick checklist
It generates 192.8 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa and 290.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa, but you must maintain at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal return spring. These force figures are already net of the spring resistance.
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 sensing capabilities. It also features a flat-end U back cover and fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration.
