The AirTAC Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI25X100CA is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm 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 190.3 N of net 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 safely upon air loss. Because it is single-acting, you only need one 1/8" air line, which simplifies plumbing and saves energy. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø10 mm rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for straightforward bracket integration.
This specific configuration features a CA rear pivot cover and a 100 mm stroke. Since single-acting springs are typically limited to 80 mm on this bore, the 100 mm travel is a non-standard, made-to-order item. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, the computed safe working load is roughly 114 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 9.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without the -S option.

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 | 190.3 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 288.4 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.
Using the 190.3 N push force, this cylinder reliably ejects dense molded parts from a fixture before the next machine cycle.
The CA pivot mount and 100 mm stroke allow it to act as a spring-return gate, physically stopping advancing pallets on a line.
Provides enough thrust to hold lightweight cardboard cartons stationary during labeling, safely retracting when air is removed.
When sizing by push force, this Ø25 bore yields 190.3 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to a Ø20 bore provides 119.5 N; stepping up to a Ø32 bore offers 352.1 N. You must supply at least 0.2 MPa of air pressure to overcome the internal spring, or the rod will not extend. The 100 mm stroke exceeds the standard 80 mm spring limit for this size, so expect a made-to-order lead time. Mounting is handled via the CA pivot cover, and you must select an -S variant if you require position sensing.
Quick checklist
It provides a push force of 190.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.4 N at 0.7 MPa. You must supply at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring. Upon air loss, the spring drives the rod to the retracted rest position.
No, this specific SKU does not have a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches will not function. You must order the -S variant to enable magnetic sensing. It uses a stainless steel round-body build with a 1/8" port.
