Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI10X20CA
The AirTAC Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI10X20CA is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 20mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.

About the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI10X20CA
Generating 29.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC round-body mini cylinder uses compressed air to extend the rod and an internal spring to retract it. Because it is a single-acting PUSH type, you only need one air line connected to its M5x0.8 port, which saves plumbing and compressed air. The stainless steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it suitable for washdown environments.
The listed force is already net of the return spring, meaning you get that true output at the rod end. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of roughly 18 N, or a vertical lift of about 1.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept position sensors; adding the -S option enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It features a CA rear pivot cover and conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions.

Where the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI10X20CA Is Used
Small Part Clamping
Provides 29.5 N of push force to hold light plastic or aluminum components securely in place during machining, releasing automatically when air is removed.
Package Diverter
Acts as a spring-return gate to push light cardboard boxes off a production line, safely retracting to its rest position if the air supply drops.
Pin Ejection
Extends 20 mm to push a small finished part out of a die fixture, using the internal spring to retract the pin quickly for the next cycle.
Is the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI10X20CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore, check your push requirements carefully against the 29.5 N output at 0.5 MPa. If your load demands less force, step down to the MSI8, which provides 18.6 N; if you need more thrust, the MSI12 offers 44.0 N. Remember that a minimum of 0.2 MPa operating pressure is required to overcome the internal spring before the rod will extend.
This 20 mm stroke sits well within the 50 mm standard travel limit for this bore size. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to soften the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Mounting is straightforward using the CA pivot cover alongside standard ISO 6432 brackets, but note that without the -S magnet option, position sensing is not possible.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/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/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI10X20CA FAQ
It delivers 29.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 45.2 N at 0.7 MPa. A minimum of 0.2 MPa is required to overcome the spring, and the rod retracts to rest when air is released.
No, this specific SKU does not have a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. You would need the -S variant for position sensing.
