Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X60CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X60CA is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm 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 MTF20X60CA
Generating 93.4 N of net pull at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore single-acting cylinder uses internal spring pressure to keep the rod extended, relying on air pressure through its 1/8" port to retract the load. It is a JIS-standard round-body mini built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, engineered to be shorter than an ISO 6432 unit of the same footprint to save valuable machine space. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact energy at the stroke ends.
Because the spring constantly drives the rod outward, the assembly naturally fails to the extended position if air pressure drops, making it ideal for spring-open and air-close operations. At the 0.5 MPa baseline, the effective vertical lift is roughly 4.8 kg when applying a 2:1 safety margin, translating to a safe working load of about 56 N. This specific CA pivot-cover configuration lacks the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

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

Where the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X60CA Is Used
Fail-Safe Gate Opening
Uses the spring-return extension to push access doors or guards open automatically during an air loss event, while air pulls the 8 mm rod back to close them.
Wire Tensioning
Maintains steady outward tension on wiring or filament feeds, applying roughly 56 N of safe working load before air retracts the line for the next cycle.
Blanking Clamp Retract
Holds a packaging flap or blanking pin extended by default, using the 93.4 N pneumatic pull to draw the obstruction out of the way when a cycle starts.
Is the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF20X60CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore option against the broader range, step down if your load is very light, or move up to the MTF25 which provides a stronger 153.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Choose this single-acting pull mechanism for tasks requiring a return-to-extended fail-safe, such as tensioning or holding gates open. Ensure your air supply delivers at least the 0.2 MPa floor required to overcome the internal spring. Beyond the integrated CA rear pivot, you can adapt the body using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, or TC trunnion mounts.
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 MTF20X60CA 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 an operating pressure of 0.2 to 1.0 MPa to function, as 0.2 MPa is the minimum floor needed to overcome the return spring.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Additionally, because it is a single-acting pull cylinder, the spring drives the rod to the extended rest position on air loss rather than holding a mid-stroke load.
