The AirTAC Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF40X10SCM 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.
Delivering a robust 434.8 N of net pull at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder is engineered for heavy-duty tensioning and air-close tasks. The MTF40X10SCM utilizes a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers, offering excellent resistance to mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because it is a single-acting pull type, an internal spring holds the rod in the extended position, and applying air through the 1/4 inch port retracts it.
For applications demanding a fail-safe open state, the spring automatically drives the rod back out upon air loss. This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for use with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and features a CM round-end rear cover. The 16 mm rod utilizes an M14x1.5 male thread, and the body is notably shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting space. With a 434.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, the computed safe working load is roughly 261 N, which translates to lifting or holding about 22.2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

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.
Utilize the 434.8 N net pull force to maintain constant tension on heavy cables or belts, releasing the load only when compressed air retracts the 16 mm rod.
Keep process valves securely open via the internal spring; applying air pulls the mechanism closed, ensuring the system defaults to a safe extended state during power loss.
Hold packaging clamps open in the extended rest position, using the 1/4 inch air port to pull the 40 mm bore cylinder back and release the workpiece rapidly.
When sizing this 40 mm bore option, it represents the maximum pull capacity available in the MTF family, delivering 434.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 645.8 N at 0.7 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the MTF32 provides 266.8 N at 0.5 MPa, which may prevent oversizing and reduce unnecessary spring resistance. Remember that a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa is required to overcome the internal spring and initiate the pull stroke.
This cylinder is ideal for spring-open, air-close mechanisms where losing air pressure safely returns the rod to the extended position. It features fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. Mounting is highly versatile, supporting LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, and TC trunnion styles, while the included -S magnet enables precise position sensing.
Quick checklist
This single-acting pull cylinder generates 434.8 N of net 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 return spring, with a maximum pressure limit of 1.0 MPa and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The internal spring constantly extends the rod, meaning an air loss forces the cylinder to the fully extended position; it cannot hold a mid-stroke load. The -S designation indicates a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing.
