Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X10SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X10SCM is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel for mildly corrosive environments. For the same bore and stroke it is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving mounting space.

About the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X10SCM
Generating 93.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC MTF20X10SCM mini cylinder is engineered for single-acting tensioning and air-close tasks. The internal spring actively pushes the rod out, while supplying air to the 1/8" port retracts it. Because the spring holds the rod extended at rest, the mechanism fails safely to the open position if air pressure drops below the 0.2 MPa floor. A practical buyer insight: this bore yields a safe working load of roughly 56 N, or about 4.8 kg of vertical lift when applying a 2:1 safety margin.
Built as a JIS-standard round-body unit, the SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers form a compact assembly that is physically shorter than an equivalent ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. The 8 mm rod features an M8x1.25 male thread, and the CM round-end back cover simplifies rear attachment. Deceleration is handled by fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable air cushion. Furthermore, the -S designation means a piston magnet is installed, allowing CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to track position.

Where the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X10SCM Is Used
Tension Control
Pulls tensioned filaments or wires with a 56 N safe working load, releasing the tension only when compressed air is applied.
Fail-Safe Open Valve
Holds a valve open via spring pressure; air retracts the 8 mm rod to close it, ensuring the valve opens automatically on air loss.
Clamp Release
Retracts a lightweight packaging clamp to drop a 4.8 kg carton, using the spring to push the clamp back into the gripping position.
Is the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X10SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, evaluate your tension requirements against its 93.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If the load demands less force, note that 20 mm is the smallest available MTF bore. If you need more pull, the next size up is the MTF25, which provides 153.6 N at 0.5 MPa. This single-acting pull configuration is optimal for spring-open / air-close operations where losing air pressure must force the rod out. Remember that a minimum of 0.2 MPa is required to overcome the spring. Along with the CM round-end cover, you can utilize LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion mounts, and the built-in magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/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/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X10SCM FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder generates a net pull force of 93.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 146.1 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal spring, with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The spring continuously drives the rod to the extended position. If air pressure is lost, the cylinder fails safely to the extended state; it cannot hold a mid-stroke load. The SUS304 stainless barrel resists mild corrosion, and the -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensor tracking.
