The AirTAC Airtac MSG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MSG32X25 is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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 MSG32X25 is a single acting, push type JIS mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 25 mm stroke: compressed air extends the rod and an internal return spring retracts it when air is released. Because air is only supplied on the work stroke, the circuit needs just one air line and one valve port, which saves air and simplifies wiring for one-directional clamping, ejecting or pressing. At 0.5 MPa the rod delivers about 281.3 N of push, already net of the return spring, and the spring sets a 0.2 MPa (28 psi) minimum working pressure. The short 25 mm stroke makes it a compact fit where a quick one-way action is all that is needed.
Construction is a JIS-standard round body with a riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and a hard-chrome plated carbon steel rod, so it stands up to damp and washdown environments. The two-way lubricant-storing piston seal extends service life, and a fixed anti-impact bumper pad softens the stroke end. A practical sizing note: with 281.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, a safe vertical lift load is roughly 14 kg (about half the push expressed in kgf), so plan your payload well inside that figure. The 1/8" port is common to every MSG bore, and this model carries no magnet, so position sensing with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches would require the -S option.

Single-acting push: air extends the rod; the return spring retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
| FA / LB / CB / SDB | Mounting: FA flange, LB foot, CB clevis, SDB pivot bracket (with CB). |
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.
Clamp fixtures with 281.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa; if air drops, the spring releases the clamp automatically, a fail-safe behaviour for manual load-and-unload stations.
The short 25 mm stroke is ideal for knocking finished parts off a chute or nest at up to 800 mm/s, with the spring retracting the rod the moment air is exhausted.
Press caps, labels or light forms in one direction; one solenoid valve port drives the stroke and the return spring handles retraction without a second air line.
Choose the MSG32X25 when your one-way work stroke is short (25 mm) and the 281.3 N push at 0.5 MPa covers the load with margin; step up to bore 40 (439.6 N at 0.5 MPa) for heavier clamps or down to bore 25 (171.8 N) for lighter duty. Remember the spring return: the rod retracts on air loss, and the minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa (28 psi), not lower. The spring-return travel caps standard strokes at 150 mm for this bore; if you need a two-directional or longer stroke, use the double-acting MG instead. Mounting options are LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis and SDB pivot, plus I and Y rod knuckles; add -S to the code if you need magnet-based sensing with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. This unit has no magnet fitted.
Quick checklist
This single acting push cylinder gives 281.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 442.1 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the return spring. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), fluid is air filtered to 40 um, temperature range -20 to +70 C, and speed 50-800 mm/s. The port is 1/8" and the rod is 12 mm with an M10x1.25 male thread.
Air extends the rod on the work stroke; when air is released the internal return spring retracts it to the rest position, so only one air line is needed. On air loss the rod returns, it does not hold a load, and the fixed bumper pad only softens the stroke end. The double-acting MG is pressurized in both directions, giving powered retraction and longer strokes, while the MSG trades that for a simpler circuit and lower air use. Add -S to the ordering code for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensing.
