Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF40X10SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF40X10SCA is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm 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.

About the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF40X10SCA
Delivering a robust 535.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC MSF40X10SCA mini cylinder is built for demanding clamping and ejection tasks. It is a JIS-standard round-body actuator featuring a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers. The CA rear pivot cover provides a secure mounting interface for articulating loads.
As a single-acting push type, compressed air entering the 1/4" port extends the Ø16 mm rod, while an internal spring handles retraction. You only need to plumb one air line, and the unit fails safely to the retracted position on air loss. The quoted force is already net of the spring, and the design is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. With a safe working load of roughly 321 N, it can vertically lift about 27.3 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF40X10SCA Is Used
Heavy Duty Clamping
Exerts 535.3 N of push force to secure heavy metal workpieces during machining, releasing automatically via spring return.
Part Ejection
Uses the 10 mm stroke to thrust finished components off a conveyor line, relying on the internal spring to retract the rod quickly.
Vertical Lift Gate
Lifts or pushes lightweight access gates weighing up to 27 kg, safely defaulting to the closed retracted position if air pressure drops.
Is the Airtac MSF Single Acting Mini Cylinder MSF40X10SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore actuator, compare its 535.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa against the smaller MSF32, which provides 323.3 N. As the largest available MSF bore, there is no larger standard option, so for loads exceeding this class you must switch to a different cylinder family. Ensure your supply stays at or above the 0.2 MPa floor; below that, the return spring overcomes the air pressure. This specific SKU includes the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and the CA back cover suits pivoting mount setups.
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 MSF40X10SCA FAQ
This single-acting cylinder generates 535.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 786.5 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal return spring and extend the rod.
No, the internal spring drives the rod back to the fully retracted position on air loss, so it cannot hold a mid-stroke load. For position holding you need a double-acting MF cylinder with an external rod lock. This unit includes the -S magnet for position sensing.
