The AirTAC Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF25X80SCM is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm 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 MSF25X80SCM mini cylinder uses compressed 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" port, which simplifies routing. The quoted force is already net of the return spring, yielding a safe working load of roughly 116 N or a 9.8 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
Built as a JIS-standard round-body unit with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the body is deliberately shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. This specific configuration includes the -S piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and a CM round-end rear cover. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact across the 50-800 mm/s speed range.

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 output to hold light workpieces, automatically releasing and retracting when air pressure is removed.
Extends 80 mm to push lightweight cartons off a belt, relying on the internal spring to reset quickly between cycles.
Shifts small diverter gates with a safe working load near 116 N, failing safely to the closed position if the air supply drops.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, compare it both ways: the smaller MSF20 offers 117.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MSF32 provides 323.3 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose this 192.8 N model for light clamping, ejecting or gating tasks where the spring naturally retracts the rod on air loss. Remember the 0.2 MPa pressure floor—below that, the spring wins and the rod will not extend. The -S magnet enables position sensing, and the CM back cover dictates your rear mounting geometry.
Quick checklist
The single-acting push force is 192.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 290.9 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring, with a maximum of 1.0 MPa.
No. On air loss, the internal spring drives the rod to the fully retracted rest position; it cannot hold an arbitrary mid-stroke load. For mid-stroke holding, use a double-acting MF cylinder with an external rod lock.
