About the Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI40X60R
Generating a 466.8 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, this stainless round-body mini cylinder uses compressed air to retract the rod while an internal spring pushes it back out. The MTI40X60R rests in the extended state, meaning a dropped air supply leaves the rod safely pushed forward to maintain engagement on gates or hold-downs. It requires at least 0.2 MPa of supply pressure to overcome the spring and pull back.
Built with a 16 mm rod and a 1/4" port, the riveted stainless construction resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because the 0.5 MPa pull equates to roughly 280 N of safe working load, it can vertically lift or hold about 23.8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without switching to an -S variant. Fixed TPU bumpers soften the stroke ends, though they do not lock the load mid-travel.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. Note: the Ø40 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 466.8 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 677.9 N |
Single-acting pull: the spring extends the rod; air retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

Where the Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI40X60R Is Used
Heavy-Duty Hold-Down
Keeps a 23.8 kg workpiece clamped during machining, using the 466.8 N pull to retract against the work while the spring ensures it stays clamped if air drops.
Fail-Safe Pallet Stop
Acts as a normally-raised stop gate on a conveyor; air pulls the 16 mm rod down to let pallets pass, and the spring extends it back up on air loss.
Tensioning Mechanism
Maintains constant belt or cable tension in assembly lines, pulling with a safe working load of 280 N and extending automatically when air is removed.
Is the Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI40X60R the Right Cylinder?
When sizing by pull force, this 40 mm bore delivers 466.8 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the next size down is the 32 mm bore providing 295.6 N at 0.5 MPa; there is no larger standard bore in this series. Always factor in the fail-safe extend behavior: the rod stays out at rest and needs 0.2 MPa minimum to retract. The 60 mm stroke sits well within the 80 mm standard travel limit for this bore. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, and TC trunnion, and this unit features an R axial-in rear cover port orientation. Remember that because this is a non-magnetized SKU, position sensing is not supported.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/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/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI40X60R FAQ
It provides a pull force of 466.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 677.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The rod is normally extended at rest via an internal spring, and it requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring and retract. It uses a 1/4" port.
No, this specific SKU does not have a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches will not function. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. It is a single-acting pull cylinder, not double-acting.
