The AirTAC Airtac MTG Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTG25X25S is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The MTG25X25S is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built as a single acting PULL unit: an internal spring holds the rod extended at rest, and compressed air retracts (pulls) it on the work stroke. With a 25 mm bore and 25 mm stroke it delivers about 132.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 215 N at 0.7 MPa, already net of the spring, through a 10 mm hard-chrome rod with an M10x1.25 male thread and a 1/8" port. Working pressure spans 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, and speed runs 50-800 mm/s. Because only one air line is needed, plumbing stays simple and the valve count drops to a single 3/2 way unit for a one-way draw, retract, close or tension motion.
Construction suits damp and washdown-adjacent lines: a SUS304 stainless barrel, a hard-chrome (20 um) plated carbon-steel rod, riveted covers, a two-way lubricant-storing piston seal and a fixed anti-impact bumper pad at the stroke end. The fitted magnet (the S in the code) accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for end-of-stroke signalling. As a computed guide, a realistic working pull of roughly 0.6 times the 0.5 MPa figure is about 80 N, which lifts or tensions a load of roughly 8 kg. If you need two-way powered travel or a stroke beyond the 150 mm spring-return limit of this bore, step up to the double-acting MG series.

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; if air is lost the spring pushes the rod back out to its extended rest position.
The spring keeps the idler roller pushed out for constant take-up, while the 132.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa draws the tensioner back for belt or tape changes.
One 3/2 valve and a single air line retract the gate on demand; the spring reopens it automatically, with the bumper pad softening both stroke ends.
Size the MTG by net pull, not bore alone. This 25 mm bore gives 132.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 215 N at 0.7 MPa; take about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa figure (roughly 80 N, or an 8 kg load) as a safe working pull. Choose MTG20 if your pull demand is lighter, or MTG32/MTG40 for heavier draws. Remember the behaviour: the spring extends the rod and air retracts it, so the rest position is rod-out and the minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa (28 psi). The spring return caps standard strokes at 150 mm for this bore; for longer travel or powered extension, use the double-acting MG. Mounting options are LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis and SDB pivot, plus I and Y rod knuckles; the fitted magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Thread is PT and the port is 1/8" on every MTG bore.
Quick checklist
Net of the return spring, this 25 mm bore pulls 132.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 215 N at 0.7 MPa. The spring sets a minimum working pressure of 0.2 MPa (28 psi), with an operating range of 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), a temperature range of -20 to +70 C and a speed range of 50-800 mm/s. Air should be filtered to 40 um, and the port is 1/8" PT.
In the MTG the spring extends the rod and air retracts (pulls) it, so the cylinder fails to its rod-out position on air loss; the fixed bumper pad only softens the stroke end and never locks or holds a load. The MSG is the opposite single acting type (air pushes, spring retracts), and the MG is double acting with powered travel in both directions for longer strokes or two-way work. This S-coded model carries a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can signal rod position.
