Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI10X50CA
The AirTAC Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI10X50CA is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 50mm 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 MSI10X50CA
Delivering 29.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this stainless-steel 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 M5x0.8 air line, which saves plumbing and guarantees the rod returns to a safe retracted rest state if air pressure drops. The listed force is already net of the return spring.
Built with a 10 mm bore, a 4 mm rod, and an M4x0.7 male thread, it conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket drops. It requires at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring and will not extend below that. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of about 18 N, or a vertical lift of roughly 1.5 kg with a 2:1 margin. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI10X50CA Is Used
Light Parts Clamping
Secure small plastic or aluminum components during machining with 29.5 N of push force, relying on the spring to release the part automatically.
Package Diverter Gate
Actuate a lightweight routing flap on a conveyor line; the fail-safe retract ensures the gate clears the flow path when air is removed.
Product Ejector
Push finished lightweight goods out of a test fixture, using the single M5x0.8 port to streamline valve requirements.
Is the Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI10X50CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing by push force, this 10 mm bore provides 29.5 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the Ø8 bore which provides 18.6 N; if you need more, step up to the Ø12 bore which yields 44.0 N. Remember that pressure must stay at or above 0.2 MPa to beat the internal spring.
This specific configuration uses a CA rear pivot cover and features a 50 mm stroke, which is the maximum standard travel for this bore size. Because this SKU is not an -S variant, it has no magnet and cannot support position sensing.
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 MSI10X50CA FAQ
It provides 29.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 45.2 N at 0.7 MPa. You must supply at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal spring, and the rod retracts to its rest state when air is released.
No, this specific SKU does not have a magnet, so it cannot use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. It uses a CA pivot back cover and an M5x0.8 port.
