The AirTAC Airtac MTG Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTG20X75S is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The MTG20X75S is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for single acting pull duty: an internal spring holds the rod extended at rest, and compressed air retracts (pulls) the rod on the work stroke. With a 20 mm bore and 75 mm stroke it delivers a net pull of 84.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 137.5 N at 0.7 MPa, already measured after the spring, so the figures you see are the forces available at the rod. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa (28 psi), and the operating band runs 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) at speeds of 50-800 mm/s. Because only one air line is needed, plumbing stays simple, and on air loss the spring pushes the rod back out to its extended rest position.
The barrel is SUS304 stainless with a hard-chrome (20 um) carbon-steel rod, riveted covers and a fixed anti-impact bumper pad that softens the stroke ends, a combination that suits damp and washdown-adjacent stations. The S code means a magnet is fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread keep integration straightforward. As a sizing note, a realistic working pull at 0.5 MPa is about 51 N (0.6 of the rated figure), roughly a 5 kg draw load; if you need two-way powered travel or a stroke beyond the 150 mm MTG standard limit, step up to the double-acting MG series.

Single-acting pull: the spring extends the rod; air retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

MG-family variants: MG / MGC (double acting ±cushion), MSG / MTG (single acting push / pull), MGD / MGCD (double rod ±cushion). Accessories: LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis, SDB pivot block, plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Air pulls the 8 mm rod in to withdraw a pin from a fixture, and the spring re-extends it the moment pressure drops, so the pin clears the part on every air-off event.
The 84.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa (about 51 N usable) is enough to draw a light tensioner arm or web guide through a 75 mm stroke with a single air line.
One valve stroke closes a light access shutter or chute gate; the spring reopens it automatically on exhaust, giving a fail-safe open position without extra hardware.
Choose the MTG20X75S when your motion is a one-way pull of up to 75 mm and the spring can be trusted to push the rod back out: it is the smallest MTG bore, giving 84.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa and 137.5 N at 0.7 MPa. If your load needs more draw force, move up to the 25 mm bore (132.6 N) or larger; if you need powered return or a stroke longer than the 150 mm MTG standard limit, the double-acting MG is the right family. Remember the spring sets a 0.2 MPa (28 psi) minimum working pressure, and the spring return does not hold a load on air loss. Mounting options are LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis and SDB pivot, plus I and Y rod knuckles; the fitted magnet (S code) accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Every bore uses a 1/8" port, with PT thread standard and G or NPT available.
Quick checklist
Net of the return spring, the 20 mm bore gives 84.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa and 137.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The spring sets a minimum working pressure of 0.2 MPa (28 psi); the full operating band is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), fluid is air filtered to 40 um, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C with speeds of 50-800 mm/s.
In the MTG the spring extends the rod and air retracts it, so the powered motion is the pull; on air loss the rod fails to its extended position. The MSG is the mirror image (air pushes, spring retracts), and the MG is double acting with air on both strokes, so it suits two-way travel and strokes beyond the 150 mm MTG standard limit. The fitted magnet on this S-coded model accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position feedback.
