The AirTAC Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF32X100SCM is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" 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 323.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC MSF32X100SCM mini cylinder uses compressed air to extend the rod and an internal spring to retract it. Because it is single-acting, you only need to plumb one 1/4" port, which simplifies valve requirements and ensures 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 equivalent ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable mounting length.
The quoted output is already net of the return spring, meaning the full 323.3 N is available for work at 0.5 MPa. For practical sizing, this translates to a safe working load of roughly 194 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 16.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific configuration includes a CM round-end rear cover and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing.

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 | 323.3 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484.1 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.

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 323.3 N push output to positively eject machined components from a fixture, with the spring safely pulling the rod back clear of the workspace.
Ideal for securing workpieces during light machining, applying a stable holding force that fails safe to the retracted position if air pressure drops.
Acts as a robust diverter gate on a packaging line, where the single-acting design minimizes tubing runs and the stainless barrel resists washdown.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it directly against the adjacent options: the MSF25 provides 192.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while the MSF40 steps up to 535.3 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose this model when your application requires a reliable spring-return action for clamping, ejecting, or gating, and ensure your air supply stays at or above the 0.2 MPa floor required to overcome the internal spring.
The -S magnet allows seamless integration with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for end-of-stroke confirmation. For mounting flexibility, you can pair the CM round-end back cover with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. Note that end-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed TPU bumper pads, not an adjustable air cushion.
Quick checklist
This single-acting cylinder generates 323.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 484.1 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring, with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa.
Air extends the rod via the 1/4" port, and an internal spring retracts it; it cannot be loaded on the return stroke. The included -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and the fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact.
