Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF40X10CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF40X10CA is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm 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.

About the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF40X10CA
Delivering a robust 645.8 N of pull force at 0.7 MPa, this AirTAC MTF40X10CA mini cylinder is engineered for single-acting pull operations. The internal spring normally holds the rod extended, while applying air through the 1/4 inch port retracts it. Because it loses air pressure safely to the extended position, it is ideal for spring-open and air-close tasks. The quoted force is already net of the spring resistance.
Built as a JIS-standard round-body unit, the SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers provide excellent mild corrosion and washdown resistance. It is shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; adding the -S variant enables that capability. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impacts across its 50-800 mm/s speed range.

Where the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF40X10CA Is Used
Heavy Tensioning
Utilize the 434.8 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to maintain high tension on belts, cables, or webs during processing without continuous air consumption.
Fail-Safe Valve Control
Keep process valves open via the spring and use air to close them, ensuring the system defaults to a safe extended state during compressed air loss.
Vertical Retraction
Pull a 22 kg load upward against gravity with a 2:1 margin, relying on the spring to lower and hold the load extended when air is removed.
Is the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF40X10CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore model, evaluate your tension requirements against both directions. If the 434.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to the MTF32 which provides 266.8 N at the same pressure. This MTF40X10CA provides a computed safe working load of roughly 261 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 22.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. A minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa is required to overcome the return spring. The CA back cover provides a rear pivot mounting point, and you can pair it with LB foot or FA flange brackets depending on your frame.
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 MTF40X10CA FAQ
This single-acting pull cylinder generates 434.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and 645.8 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 does not include a magnet and cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for sensing capabilities. Additionally, the spring extends the rod at rest and cannot hold a mid-stroke load.
