The AirTAC Airtac MSG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MSG25X150 is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 150mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The AirTAC MSG25X150 is a single acting, PUSH type JIS round-body mini cylinder: compressed air extends the 10 mm rod, and an internal return spring retracts it when air is released. With a 25 mm bore and 150 mm stroke, it delivers about 171.8 N of push at 0.5 MPa (269.9 N at 0.7 MPa), figures already net of the return spring. Because air is only applied on the work stroke, the circuit needs one air line and one valve port, which saves air and simplifies wiring for one-directional clamping, ejecting or pressing. The 0.2 MPa (28 psi) minimum working pressure reflects the spring preload, and speed is adjustable across 50-800 mm/s.
Construction is built for damp and light-washdown duty: a SUS304 stainless barrel with a hard-chrome (20 um) carbon-steel rod, riveted covers and a two-way lubricant-storing piston seal. Fixed anti-impact bumper pads soften the stroke ends, but they are not a lock or brake; on air loss the spring simply returns the rod to its retracted rest position. The JIS footprint drops into standard JIS mini brackets and I/Y rod knuckles, and the 150 mm stroke is the maximum standard travel for this bore. As a rule of thumb, size the working load at about 0.6 of the push force, so roughly 10 kg for safe vertical lifting at 0.5 MPa.

MG-family variants: MG / MGC (double acting ±cushion), MSG / MTG (single acting push / pull), MGD / MGCD (double rod ±cushion). Accessories: LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis, SDB pivot block, plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Air extends the rod to clamp a fixture at up to 171.8 N (0.5 MPa); releasing the valve lets the spring retract the clamp automatically, so a power failure cannot leave the part clamped.
One valve port pushes finished parts off a conveyor stop or out of a nest; the spring return readies the cylinder for the next cycle without a second air line.
At about 10 kg safe vertical load, the MSG25X150 presses caps or lifts a light gate on the work stroke, with the spring retracting it between cycles.
Choose the MSG25X150 when a 25 mm bore matches your force need: about 171.8 N push at 0.5 MPa, or roughly 10 kg of safe vertical lift using the 0.6 rule of thumb. It is the largest standard-stroke option in the MSG 25 bore class, since spring-return travel caps the standard stroke at 150 mm. Remember the 0.2 MPa (28 psi) pressure floor set by the return spring, and that the spring, not air, retracts the rod. If you need a two-directional stroke, longer travel or adjustable cushioning, step up to the double-acting MG (or MGC for cushioning). Mount with LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis or SDB pivot brackets plus I/Y knuckles; this SKU has no magnet, so position sensing requires the -S variant with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
The 25 mm bore delivers 171.8 N push at 0.5 MPa and 269.9 N at 0.7 MPa, already net of the return spring. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, working temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 50-800 mm/s, and a 1/8" air port. The 0.2 MPa minimum exists because the return spring must be overcome before the rod moves.
Air extends the rod through one line; when air is exhausted, the internal spring retracts it to the retracted rest position, so the cylinder does not hold a load on air loss. This MSG25X150 has no magnet fitted, so no switch can be mounted; order the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches. For two-way powered motion, choose the double-acting MG instead.
