Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF40X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF40X60SCA is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm 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 MTF40X60SCA
Delivering a robust 434.8 N of net pull force 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 MTF40X60SCA utilizes a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers, offering a shorter overall mounting length than a comparable ISO 6432 unit while resisting mild corrosion and washdown environments. A 1/4 inch port and M14x1.5 male rod thread accommodate higher airflow and sturdy mechanical attachments.
Because it is a single-acting pull type, an internal spring normally holds the rod extended, and supplying air retracts it. This fail-safe-to-extended behavior means the cylinder drives outward upon air loss, making it ideal for spring-open applications. For sizing purposes, it provides a safe working load of roughly 261 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 22.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The CA pivot back cover allows flexible rear mounting, and the included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing.

Where the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF40X60SCA Is Used
Heavy-Duty Tensioning
Pulls and maintains strong cable or belt tension with 434.8 N of force at 0.5 MPa, automatically snapping back to the extended position if air pressure is lost.
Fail-Safe Valve Actuation
Holds a large process valve open via spring force and uses 1/4 inch port air pressure to pull it closed, ensuring the system defaults to a safe extended state during outages.
Pneumatic Retraction Gate
Utilizes the 40 mm bore power to retract a heavy diverter gate against the spring, lifting loads up to 22.2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin before releasing.
Is the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF40X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
When selecting this unit, verify your force requirements against its 434.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa (or 645.8 N at 0.7 MPa). If your application needs less retraction force, step down to the MTF32 bore, which provides 266.8 N at 0.5 MPa; as the 40 mm bore is the largest available in the MTF series, there is no larger standard option. Ensure your air supply meets the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure required to overcome the internal return spring.
This model is optimal for spring-open, air-close mechanisms where tensioning or pulling a load is necessary. It features fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The CA back cover provides a pivot mount, and the -S magnet option allows for direct installation of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
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 MTF40X60SCA FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder provides a net pull force of 434.8 N 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 spring, has a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa, and operates at speeds between 50 and 800 mm/s.
The internal spring constantly extends the 16 mm rod, meaning the cylinder fails to the extended position on air loss and cannot hold a mid-stroke load. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for position detection.
