The AirTAC Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF32X50SCA is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/4" 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.
Delivering 266.8 N of net pull at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder uses air to retract the rod while an internal spring pushes it back out. Because the spring holds the piston normally extended, the mechanism fails safely to the open position upon air loss, making it ideal for spring-open and air-close tasks. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers form a JIS-standard round body that is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable mounting length.
This specific SKU includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, plus a CA rear pivot cover. Air connects via a 1/4 inch port, and fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impacts across the 50 mm travel. Factoring a 2:1 safety margin, the 266.8 N pull translates to an effective vertical lift capacity of roughly 13.6 kg, yielding a safe working load of about 160 N.

| 0.5 MPa | 266.8 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 405.0 N |
Single-acting pull: the spring extends the rod; air retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Maintains steady pulling tension on web materials, using the 266.8 N retract force to pull a guide roller back against a stop.
Holds a guard gate open with air pressure; if air drops, the spring automatically extends the rod to push the gate into the open position.
Pulls packaging flaps down during the sealing cycle, relying on the spring to lift the arm clear when the 0.2 MPa air floor is released.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare its 266.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: step down to an MTF25 for 153.6 N, or up to an MTF40 for 434.8 N. Ensure your air supply provides at least the 0.2 MPa floor required to overcome the return spring before retracting the rod. Mounting flexibility is extensive, with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block and TC trunnion options available alongside the installed CA back cover. Remember that a SKU without the -S magnet cannot accept position sensors.
Quick checklist
This single-acting cylinder provides a net pull force of 266.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 405 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.
The internal spring constantly extends the rod, meaning the cylinder rests and fails in the extended position; it cannot hold a mid-stroke load without air. The -S designation indicates a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors, and the unit features a 1/4 inch port with a CA pivot cover.
