The AirTAC Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI20X75SCALB is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/8" 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.
Delivering a net push of 119.5 N at 0.5 MPa, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder extends via compressed air and uses an internal spring to retract. Because it is single-acting, you only need one 1/8" air line, saving plumbing and ensuring the rod safely pulls back to rest if pressure drops. The Ø8 mm piston rod features an M8x1.25 male thread.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops into standard mini brackets and offers mild corrosion resistance for washdown environments. For sizing, this bore yields a safe working load of about 72 N, or a 2:1 vertical lift margin of roughly 6.1 kg. This specific SKU includes a piston magnet for position sensing, a CA rear clevis cover, and an LB foot mount.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 119.5 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 182.3 N |
Single-acting push: air extends the rod; the return spring retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Pushes finished plastic or aluminum parts out of a machining fixture with 119.5 N of force, relying on the spring to retract safely when air is removed.
Acts as a spring-return diverter on a packaging line, extending to route boxes and automatically snapping back to clear the conveyor path.
Extends to hold cardboard flaps open during automated taping, using the fail-safe retract to release the load if the air supply stops.
When sizing by push force, this Ø20 bore provides 119.5 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the Ø16 bore which outputs 74.9 N; if you require more, the Ø25 bore supplies 190.3 N. Remember that a minimum of 0.2 MPa is required to overcome the return spring before the rod can extend.
This 75 mm stroke sits safely within the 80 mm single-acting limit for this bore. The included -S magnet allows tracking with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, while the LB foot bracket and CA back cover simplify rear-pivot or base-mount installations.
Quick checklist
It provides a net push force of 119.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 182.3 N at 0.7 MPa. A minimum of 0.2 MPa is required to overcome the internal spring. When air is released, the spring drives the rod back to its retracted rest state.
Yes, this SKU includes the -S piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for detection. It is a single-acting push type, so it only generates pneumatic force on the extend stroke.
