The AirTAC Airtac MSI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MSI25X100R 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 stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder uses compressed air to extend and an internal spring to retract. Because it is single-acting, you only need one 1/8 inch air line, saving plumbing and ensuring the rod fails safe to the retracted position if air pressure drops. The Ø10 mm piston rod features an M10x1.25 male thread.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops into standard mini brackets and clevises. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild washdown corrosion. This 100 mm travel unit is a made-to-order configuration, exceeding the 80 mm standard spring limit for this bore. It has an R axial-in rear cover, fixed TPU bumpers, and no magnet (so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors). For sizing, expect a safe working load around 114 N, or vertical lifting of about 9.7 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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 metal parts out of a machining fixture with 190.3 N, using the spring return to clear the path safely on air loss.
Acts as a spring-return gating pin on a packaging line, holding a 9.7 kg load margin and retracting automatically when the air stops.
Extends to halt pallet movement on a roller conveyor, relying on the fail-safe retract to release the pallet during an emergency stop.
When sizing by push force, this Ø25 bore yields 190.3 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the Ø20 bore which provides 119.5 N; if you need more, step up to the Ø32 bore offering 352.1 N. Remember the internal spring requires at least 0.2 MPa to overcome before the rod will extend. Also note this 100 mm stroke is non-standard and made-to-order because single-acting springs are typically limited to 80 mm here. If you need position sensing, select the -S magnet variant instead of this SKU, and match your mounting using LB, FA, SDB, or TC hardware.
Quick checklist
It provides 190.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 288.4 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires at least 0.2 MPa of air pressure to overcome the internal return spring. When air is released, the spring drives the rod back to the retracted rest position.
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you must order the -S variant for sensing. It is a single-acting push cylinder with a stainless round body, not a double-acting profile cylinder, and uses fixed TPU bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions.
