Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X15CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X15CA is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø8mm bore and 15mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.

About the Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X15CA
Generating 12.3 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder uses an internal spring to push the rod out at rest. Compressed air entering the M5x0.8 port retracts the 4 mm rod, yielding a net pull of 19.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Because the rod stays extended without air, it provides a fail-safe forward stop for gates and hold-downs. The compact body drops into standard ISO 6432 mini brackets.
This CA pivot-cover model suits light tensioning and vertical lifts up to roughly 0.6 kg with a 2:1 margin. It requires at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. Fixed TPU bumpers soften the stroke ends, though they do not lock the load. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG or DMSG sensors.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø8mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 12.3 N |

Where the Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X15CA Is Used
Fail-Safe Gate Stop
Keeps a lightweight access gate closed by default. The spring holds the rod extended securely until 0.2 MPa of air pulls it back.
Light Vertical Lift
Retracts to lift small parts weighing about 0.6 kg. The 12.3 N pull force at 0.5 MPa handles delicate vertical movements.
Tensioning Mechanism
Maintains steady tension on a light belt or filament. Air retracts the rod to slacken the line when the system needs to reset.
Is the Airtac MTI Single Acting Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTI8X15CA the Right Cylinder?
Size this 8 mm bore by its 12.3 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your load needs less force, there is no smaller MTI bore, so consider reducing air pressure; if you need more pull, step up to the Ø10 bore which provides 23.2 N at 0.5 MPa. Remember the rod extends automatically on air loss, and you must supply at least 0.2 MPa to retract it against the spring. The 15 mm stroke is well within the 50 mm spring limit for this size.
The rear CA clevis cover suits pivot mounting. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, you cannot mount position sensors; choose an -S variant if you need CMSG or EMSG switches.
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 MTI8X15CA FAQ
It provides a net pull of 12.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 19.9 N at 0.7 MPa. It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so the spring extends the rod at rest and air retracts it. You need at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring.
No, this SKU does not have a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG or DMSG sensors. You would need the -S variant for sensing. It uses a stainless round barrel and an M5x0.8 port.
