The AirTAC Airtac MTG Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTG25X50S is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm 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 MTG25X50S is a single acting, pull-type JIS round-body mini cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 50 mm stroke: an internal spring holds the rod out at rest, and compressed air retracts (pulls) it on the work stroke. Because air acts on only one side, a single 1/8" port feeds the whole cycle, which simplifies plumbing on draw, retract, close and tension motions. Net pull output, already after the spring, is about 132.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 215 N at 0.7 MPa, with working pressure from 0.2 MPa (28-145 psi range) and speed from 50 to 800 mm/s. The fitted magnet (the S code) allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to signal rod position.
Construction suits damp and washdown-adjacent lines: a SUS304 stainless barrel, a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod (20 um chrome), riveted covers and a two-way lubricant-storing piston seal, with a fixed anti-impact bumper pad softening each stroke end. In practical terms, 132.6 N is roughly 13.5 kgf, so halving it gives a safe working load of about 6 kg for vertical lifting duty. The spring return also defines fail-safe behaviour: on air loss the rod extends back out, so the cylinder will not hold a load in the retracted position. Strokes above the 150 mm standard limit, or two-way travel, call for the double-acting MG instead.

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 pin out of a fixture or die on command; if air is lost, the spring pushes the pin back to its extended, engaged position for a fail-safe default.
With about 132.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder tensions and draws light webs, labels or tape in packaging lines, with the magnet and a CMSG switch confirming each pull stroke.
One air line closes a small slide or shutter on a machine guard; the spring reopens it automatically on air loss, and the fixed bumper pad softens both stroke ends.
Choose the MTG25X50S when your motion is a one-way pull of about 80 N or less at working pressure (132.6 N rated pull at 0.5 MPa, 215 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the spring). Step down to bore 20 for lighter draws, or up to bore 32 or 40 when you need 225-550 N of pull; for two-way travel or strokes beyond 150 mm, use the double-acting MG. Remember the spring extends the rod and air retracts it, and the 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure must be available to overcome the spring. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be added. Mount with LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis or SDB pivot brackets, and I or Y rod knuckles; thread is PT (G and NPT available). Port is 1/8" on every MTG bore.
Quick checklist
Net pull (already after the spring) is 132.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 215 N at 0.7 MPa for this 25 mm bore. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, fluid is air filtered to 40 um, temperature range -20 to +70 C, and speed 50-800 mm/s. The port is 1/8" on every MTG bore, and the maximum standard stroke for bore 25 is 150 mm.
In the MTG the spring extends the rod and air retracts (pulls) it, so one 1/8" line runs the whole cycle and the rod fails to its extended position on air loss; the fixed bumper pad only softens stroke ends and does not lock a load. The MSG is the opposite single acting type (air pushes, spring retracts), and the MG is double acting, driven both ways by air for two-way travel and longer strokes. The S code on this model fits a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
