About the AirTAC MSI10
The AirTAC MSI10 is a single-acting, spring-return stainless-steel mini cylinder (push type) with a 10 mm bore and a 4 mm piston rod. Compressed air extends the rod and a built-in spring retracts it when the air is released, so the rod rests retracted; only one port takes air. Catalog output with the spring force already deducted is 29.5 N push at 0.5 MPa and 45.2 N at 0.7 MPa. The spring stroke has no air behind it, so it must not carry a load.
All MSI10 versions share M5×0.8 air ports, an M4×0.7 rod thread and rubber bumpers at both ends. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.2 and 1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa), from -20 to +70 °C, at 50 to 800 mm/s. This page lists 32 stock order codes with strokes from 5 to 50 mm; the catalog maximum stroke is 50 mm.

AirTAC catalog values for the single-acting push type: air force on the full bore less the return-spring force. The spring stroke delivers no rated force.

Where the MSI10 Is Used
Small pushers and stoppers
About 29.5 N at 0.5 MPa suits light pushers, stoppers, gates and ejectors.
Packaging and assembly
Compact strokes for feeders, diverters and assembly stations.
Sensed positioning
Magnet versions report stroke ends to the PLC through cylinder sensors.
Choosing the Right MSI10 Configuration
Start with the stroke. Pick the exact travel your machine needs; a longer stroke adds length, weight and air consumption without adding force. If your length is not listed, request a quote and we will confirm whether it can be built.
Then choose the back cover and mounting. The back cover sets how the rear of the cylinder is fixed or where its air enters (CA clevis-end cover, U radial-port cover). Mounting brackets on this page: LB foot bracket. R and U covers set the rear air inlet (axial or radial); a clevis-end cover with an SDB bracket or a TC trunnion lets the cylinder swing, while an FA flange or LB foot holds it rigid.
Finally pick the version: S adds a magnet for position sensors.
AirTAC MSI10 FAQ
Air extends the rod with about 29.5 N at 0.5 MPa (catalog value, spring force deducted); the internal spring retracts it when the port is vented. The force does not depend on the stroke code.
No. The return stroke is driven only by the internal spring, and AirTAC specifies that single-acting cylinders must not be loaded on it. Use a double-acting model if both directions must do work.
M5×0.8 ports.
Back covers: CA clevis-end cover, U radial-port cover. Brackets: LB foot bracket. Pick a pivoting cover or bracket when the load moves in an arc, a rigid one for straight-line loads.
Usually yes. Request a quote with the stroke, mounting and version and we will confirm whether it can be built, plus price and lead time.
0.2 to 1.0 MPa operating pressure (proof 1.5 MPa) and -20 to +70 °C on filtered air.
No. You can order a single MSI10. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
