The AirTAC Airtac MTG Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTG25X125 is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The AirTAC MTG25X125 is a single acting, pull-type JIS round-body mini cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 125 mm stroke. An internal spring holds the rod extended at rest, and compressed air retracts (pulls) the rod on the work stroke, so only one air line is needed. Net pull output is about 132.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 215 N at 0.7 MPa, already after the spring, with a 0.2 MPa (28 psi) minimum working pressure and 50-800 mm/s speed range. As a practical guide, plan on roughly 80 N (about 8 kg) of working pull at 0.5 MPa, or a safe vertical load near 6 kg. If air is lost, the spring simply pushes the rod back out to its extended rest position.
Construction is a riveted SUS304 stainless barrel with a hard-chrome (20 um) carbon-steel rod, a two-way lubricant-storing piston seal, and a fixed anti-impact bumper pad that only softens the stroke end. The JIS footprint (not ISO 6432) with a 10 mm rod, M10x1.25 male thread and 1/8" ports suits compact damp or washdown fixtures. The 150 mm maximum standard stroke is capped by the spring; for two-way travel or longer strokes, step up to the double-acting MG series, and add the -S magnet code if you need CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensing.

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 25 mm bore rod in to withdraw a pin or latch from a fixture; the spring pushes it back out to the extended ready position the moment air is released.
With about 132.6 N of net pull at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder draws a tension arm to keep light webs and belts under steady one-way load.
One solenoid valve retracts the rod to slide a guard shutter or chute gate closed; the spring reopens it automatically on air loss for a fail-safe default.
Choose the MTG25X125 when your motion is a one-way pull of about 80 N working force at 0.5 MPa (132.6 N net, 215 N at 0.7 MPa) over 125 mm. Bore 20 gives the smallest MTG pull (84.8 N at 0.5 MPa); bore 32 (224.8 N) or bore 40 (339.1 N) suit heavier draws. Remember the behaviour: the spring extends the rod and air retracts it, with a 0.2 MPa (28 psi) pressure floor, and the spring limits standard strokes to 150 mm. For two-way travel or longer strokes pick the double-acting MG. Mount with LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis or SDB pivot, add I or Y rod knuckles, and specify the -S magnet if CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensing is required. Ports are 1/8" on every MTG bore; thread options are PT (blank), G or NPT.
Quick checklist
Net pull (already after the spring) is 132.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 215 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C temperature, and 50-800 mm/s speed. The 25 mm bore has a 10 mm rod, M10x1.25 male thread and 1/8" ports.
The internal spring extends the rod at rest; compressed air retracts (pulls) it on the work stroke, and on air loss the spring returns the rod to extended - it does not hold a load, and the fixed bumper pad only softens the stroke end. This is the opposite of the MSG push type and uses half the air of the double-acting MG. Order the -S magnet version to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; the standard MTG25X125 has no magnet.
