Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X150CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X150CA is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 150mm 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 MTF20X150CA
Delivering a net pull of 93.4 N at 0.5 MPa (146.1 N at 0.7 MPa), this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder uses an internal spring to keep the rod extended, applying air to the 1/8 inch port retracts it. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers yield a shorter envelope than an ISO 6432 unit, resisting mild washdown corrosion while saving mounting length.
Because the spring constantly drives the piston out, the MTF20X150CA fails safely to the extended position on air loss, making it perfect for spring-open tasks. This non-magnet SKU cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. With a 150 mm stroke and fixed TPU bumper pads, it provides a safe working load of roughly 56 N, or about 4.8 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 93.4 N |

Where the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X150CA Is Used
Tension Mechanisms
Applies up to 146.1 N of pulling force at 0.7 MPa to draw back light mechanical linkages, releasing them automatically upon air loss.
Fail-Safe Doors
Holds access panels open via spring pressure; venting the 1/8 inch air line safely forces the rod back out to the extended position.
Clamp Retraction
Pulls 150 mm to withdraw packaging clamps out of the way, relying on fixed TPU bumper pads to soften the end-of-stroke impact.
Is the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X150CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, step up to the MTF25 (153.6 N at 0.5 MPa) if the load exceeds the 93.4 N capacity, as no smaller MTF bore exists. Choose this single-acting pull model for tensioning or air-close operations requiring a return-to-extended fail-safe. Ensure your supply meets the 0.2 MPa minimum floor to overcome the spring. The CA rear pivot cover pairs with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion mounts; add an -S magnet variant if position sensing is required.
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 MTF20X150CA FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder provides 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 return spring and retract the rod.
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for sensing. Additionally, the spring extends the rod on air loss, so it cannot hold a mid-stroke load.
