For this magnetic MA cylinder with 20 mm bore, the 2022 sensor selection table lists CMSG and DMSG with the round-cylinder mounting band F-MQS20. The band matches the stainless steel cylinder body; do not substitute a tie-rod bracket or a different bore size. Sensors and bands are selected separately and are not implied by the S piston-magnet code.

Fit the sensor into the band holder, wrap and fasten the band around the cylinder, move it to the required detection position, then tighten the sensor and band fasteners. Select the complete sensor order code to match the required supply voltage, output circuit, wiring and cable length; CMSG/DMSG here identify compatible sensor profiles.

Weight Reference

172 g — catalog reference weight. Matched to the printed series, bore, stroke, cover and magnetic-option weight reference. Catalog weights and estimates are for reference only; actual product weight prevails.

Force Reference

Calculated theoretical force at 0.5 MPa: extension 157.0 N; retraction 131.9 N, using bore 20 mm and rod diameter 8 mm. This pressure × effective-area calculation excludes friction, acceleration and safety/load factors; it is not a guaranteed usable load. Check the actual operating pressure and mechanism load.

Series Ordering Reference

Standard strokes listed for this bore and operating variant: 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 80, 100, 125, 150, 160, 175, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500 mm. These are alternative order selections; they are not additional travel available from the current cylinder.

The MA-family ordering pages specify magnetic construction for these models. The S code identifies the piston magnet; switches are separately selected.

Select the operating variant, bore, stroke, magnetic option, rear-cover form, mounting accessory and pipe-thread option from the corresponding ordering chart. Do not transfer rear-cover or mount choices between single-rod, double-rod and adjustable-stroke versions without checking their dedicated row.

Selection, Installation and Use

  • Select the bore and operating pressure from the required force, then check the stroke, moving load, speed, cushioning and mounting method for the mechanism.
  • Flush the air lines before connection. Keep sealing tape or sealant clear of the first 1–2 thread turns and prevent water, particles or corrosive gases entering the cylinder.
  • Keep the rod axis aligned with the load. Provide guides or supports where needed; avoid direct side loading and twisting of an unguided piston rod.
  • Start speed adjustment with the flow-control valve closed and open it gradually. Meter-out control is the usual reference circuit; verify the actual single-acting or double-acting circuit.
  • Factory-prelubricated cylinders can be used without additional lubrication. If a lubricator is used, the general instructions specify additive-free ISO VG32 turbine oil and continued lubrication.
  • Isolate the air supply and exhaust residual pressure before servicing. Secure retained loads and prevent unexpected movement on restart. Protect against freezing, corrosion and strong external magnetic fields where magnetic sensing is used.

Circuit-selection reference at a theoretical 500 mm/s: for 20 mm bore the general catalog lists effective area 0.8 mm², valve examples 5V110M5 / 5V120M5, pneumatic-pilot alternatives 4A110M5 / 4A120M5, flow control PTLM5, silencer BSLM5, and tubing 6 mm OD × 4 mm ID. These are selection examples, not included components or a guaranteed installed speed; check actual port/thread adapters, pressure loss, tube length and load.

Matching Accessory Codes and Conditions

All sensors are G-profile: CMSG reed, DMSG solid-state, EMSG miniature solid-state corresponding to DMSG; the current MA table lists all three. Require this MA's S magnetic piston and the bore-specific stainless-cylinder band identified above. Select sensors, bands and cables separately; S includes none. Confirm band, space, stroke arrangement and sensing position before ordering. No E/H/J-profile or tie-rod bracket substitution.

Sensor direct 020/030/050/100: 2/3/5/10 m; M08/M12 male M8/M12: 0.5 m; M08010/M08020/M08030 and M12010/M12020/M12030: 1/2/3 m. Length is independent of stroke. Female leads only for matching male connectors, never direct leads: B two-wire, C three-wire; female 020/030/050/100: 2/3/5/10 m. Pins: B 1 brown+, 4 blue−, 3 unused; C 1 brown+, 3 blue−, 4 black output.

MA: −20 to +70°C; ordinary/W/industry sensors: −10 to +70°C, limiting installation to −10 to +70°C or stricter component ratings. H alone: −10 to +125°C, no LED; MA stays ≤70°C. Check female-cable electrical, temperature and environmental ratings. A05 robotics/flex-resistant; A06 oil-resistant/flex-resistant; both direct-only, no NPN/PNP, M8/M12 or added W; A05-CMSG no H. Industry bend radius: recommended 19 mm. DMS-W excludes quick connectors; EMS-W permits them as listed.

Waterproof/oil-resistant sensors confer no cylinder/band/assembly waterproofing, immersion rating or universal oil compatibility. No prolonged immersion of waterproof sensors; keep other sensors dry. Avoid explosive atmospheres, strong magnetic fields, aggressive chemicals, excessive shock, rapid temperature changes, welding interference and magnetic debris. Protect industry sensors from unsuitable temperature/dust/water/oil; confirm actual oil/environment suitability and shield oil-resistant versions from weld spatter.

Before power-on check voltage/polarity, controller input/load, allowable current, switching capacity, residual voltage, leakage current and pins; reed/two-wire electronic/NPN/PNP are not equivalent. Sensor fixing: 0.15–0.20 N·m, max 0.25; not band/cylinder-mount/rod-joint torque—follow their instructions. Centre sensor in verified actuation range. Avoid impact, cable tension and repeated flexing with cylinder motion; insulate, separate from power/high-voltage wiring, connect before energizing; periodically inspect fixing/cables/indication.

Thread fit does not establish flow, quantities, clearance or speed: check load, stroke, tube length and operating point. Original 500 mm/s examples remain sizing references, not supplied or verified direct-fit parts; abbreviated controls omit tube OD, A/B direction and full options.

MA is double-acting, single-rod: 0.15–1 MPa, −20–70°C, air filtered to 40 µm or finer. Use the lowest working-pressure rating and temperature-range intersection; 1.5 MPa proof is not working pressure. Keep original alignment, load-support, bumper and lubrication precautions. These routes are for positive-pressure air; component 10 Torr ratings do not establish tube or assembly vacuum suitability.

Match PT1/8, gender, taper/parallel form and sealing seat; PT/G/NPT are not interchangeable and no gasket/sealant inclusion is assumed. Exclude sealant from air paths. Use body flats; support tube/components and leave wrench access/full rod travel. Swivels orient connections; they are not for continuous rotation. Isolate stored pressure and restrain loads before installation/removal. Check actual seals, lubricant/additives and environment.

Push-ins need exact OD; locknuts also need accepted ID and suitable wall. Match every branch/unequal end, never approximate inch/metric sizes. Cut square, reject oval/damaged tube, insert, retain and leak-test per instructions. For locknuts: cap onto tube, tube into body, tighten cap; loosen before removal. A push-in release-button procedure does not apply.

PHF/GPHF: male RA mates to the cylinder; female RB needs a separate matched connection/seal in that same chamber circuit. Never leave RB open, attach soft tube directly, close it arbitrarily or bridge chambers. Match both thread-adapter ends and genders. D colour and ordinary/mini/material suffixes imply neither uniform internals nor copper-free construction; a stainless cylinder tube does not mean all-stainless construction.

Plastic push-ins/direct and tube-side controls: ≤1 MPa, −20–70°C. BPC/BPOC/GBPC metal push-ins: ≤0.9 MPa; BKC/listed metal adapters: ≤1 MPa. Both metal groups: 0–150°C, reduced with PU to 0–70°C or narrower. Material names do not override ratings.

At the cylinder, A meters threaded-end→tube exhaust with free reverse flow (meter-out); B meters tube→thread inlet with free exhaust (meter-in). Follow actual arrows, chamber, load and circuit, not valve-port interpretation. Start restricted, open slowly, test both strokes and never force stops. Closed flow controls are not zero-leak safety isolation or load holding.

PTL/GPTL push-lock recommended cap-rotation torque: 0.08 N·m for 1/8, not pipe torque. PSL/PSS/GPSS and PSA/GPSA use their own locks. Where listed, mini PTL-MS has no separate internal-material table. Where listed, standard PTL-S combines SUS304, aluminum and polymers. S does not promise all-SUS304 or copper-free construction.

PSA/GPSA and listed -S types need separate exact-OD tube fittings; they are not male cylinder connections. Follow check/throttle symbols in each chamber line and keep free reverse flow; no A/B option or symmetric reverse-installation guarantee is inferred. Before combining restrictions verify pressure loss, exhaust response and motion stability.

ASC: separate one-way inline control, two PT1/8 female ports needing matched male connections. Follow P/A and check/throttle symbols for the chosen chamber. Rated 0.05–0.95 MPa, −20–70°C, ≤40 µm filtered air; this cylinder line must stay within 0.15–0.95 MPa. Not a regulator, guaranteed speed setting or safety shutoff.

GAFR S: optional 40 µm filter-regulator before the directional valve, two PT1/8 female ports needing matched male connections. Follow IN→OUT; check supply flow/pressure loss. The listed type has no reverse-flow valve: never insert it into a bidirectional chamber line or directly join female ports.

GAFR: inlet ≤1 MPa, adjustment 0.15–0.9 MPa, −5–70°C nonfreezing. Maintain required cylinder pressure under load. Defaults: PC bowl, differential/manual drain, bracket, round snap-in gauge; PT/NPT gauge MPa/psi. Check bowl/environment compatibility. Filtration does not guarantee dew point or require a lubricator.

US98A/UE95A examples: standard-pressure blue 100 m coils, 1 MPa at 23°C; apply PU temperature derating. US −20–70°C, UE −40–70°C. No supplied tube or installed length is implied. Other colours/lengths or lower-pressure thin-wall tubes need separate rating, wall/retention and installation checks, not OD alone.

Exact mm OD×ID: 4×2.5, 6×4, 8×5, 10×6.5, 12×8; minimum bends US98A 10/15/20/25/35 mm, UE95A 8/12/17/20/30 mm respectively. Match the selected socket; locknuts also require accepted ID. The listed complete tube codes do not cover every ID listed in each fitting reference.

Keep bends clear of connectors; support tube without kinks, flattening or tension. Observe PU restrictions on acids, alkalis, organic solvents, seawater, corrosive gases, prolonged sunlight and excess heat; verify lubricant/additives. Catalog codes do not promise production, stock or delivery; independently approve proposed alternatives dimensionally and operationally.

    For this magnetic MA cylinder with 20 mm bore, the 2022 sensor selection table lists CMSG and DMSG with the round-cylinder mounting band F-MQS20. The band matches the stainless steel cylinder body; do not substitute a tie-rod bracket or a different bore size. Sensors and bands are selected separately and are not implied by the S piston-magnet code.

    Fit the sensor into the band holder, wrap and fasten the band around the cylinder, move it to the required detection position, then tighten the sensor and band fasteners. Select the complete sensor order code to match the required supply voltage, output circuit, wiring and cable length; CMSG/DMSG here identify compatible sensor profiles.

    Weight Reference

    172 g — catalog reference weight. Matched to the printed series, bore, stroke, cover and magnetic-option weight reference. Catalog weights and estimates are for reference only; actual product weight prevails.

    Force Reference

    Calculated theoretical force at 0.5 MPa: extension 157.0 N; retraction 131.9 N, using bore 20 mm and rod diameter 8 mm. This pressure × effective-area calculation excludes friction, acceleration and safety/load factors; it is not a guaranteed usable load. Check the actual operating pressure and mechanism load.

    Internal Components and Materials

    Component Catalog material
    Piston rod S45C, hard-chromed and ground
    Tube Stainless steel
    Front / rear covers and piston Aluminum alloy
    Rod nut Stainless steel or carbon steel, as shown in the component drawing
    Front-cover nut Carbon steel
    Front-cover and piston O-rings NBR
    Bumper pad TPU
    Wear ring Wear-resistant material
    Magnet Plastic magnet

    Series Ordering Reference

    Standard strokes listed for this bore and operating variant: 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 80, 100, 125, 150, 160, 175, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500 mm. These are alternative order selections; they are not additional travel available from the current cylinder.

    The MA-family ordering pages specify magnetic construction for these models. The S code identifies the piston magnet; switches are separately selected.

    Select the operating variant, bore, stroke, magnetic option, rear-cover form, mounting accessory and pipe-thread option from the corresponding ordering chart. Do not transfer rear-cover or mount choices between single-rod, double-rod and adjustable-stroke versions without checking their dedicated row.

    Selection, Installation and Use

    • Select the bore and operating pressure from the required force, then check the stroke, moving load, speed, cushioning and mounting method for the mechanism.
    • Flush the air lines before connection. Keep sealing tape or sealant clear of the first 1–2 thread turns and prevent water, particles or corrosive gases entering the cylinder.
    • Keep the rod axis aligned with the load. Provide guides or supports where needed; avoid direct side loading and twisting of an unguided piston rod.
    • Start speed adjustment with the flow-control valve closed and open it gradually. Meter-out control is the usual reference circuit; verify the actual single-acting or double-acting circuit.
    • Factory-prelubricated cylinders can be used without additional lubrication. If a lubricator is used, the general instructions specify additive-free ISO VG32 turbine oil and continued lubrication.
    • Isolate the air supply and exhaust residual pressure before servicing. Secure retained loads and prevent unexpected movement on restart. Protect against freezing, corrosion and strong external magnetic fields where magnetic sensing is used.

    Circuit-selection reference at a theoretical 500 mm/s: for 20 mm bore the general catalog lists effective area 0.8 mm², valve examples 5V110M5 / 5V120M5, pneumatic-pilot alternatives 4A110M5 / 4A120M5, flow control PTLM5, silencer BSLM5, and tubing 6 mm OD × 4 mm ID. These are selection examples, not included components or a guaranteed installed speed; check actual port/thread adapters, pressure loss, tube length and load.

    Matching Accessory Codes and Conditions

    All sensors are G-profile: CMSG reed, DMSG solid-state, EMSG miniature solid-state corresponding to DMSG; the current MA table lists all three. Require this MA's S magnetic piston and the bore-specific stainless-cylinder band identified above. Select sensors, bands and cables separately; S includes none. Confirm band, space, stroke arrangement and sensing position before ordering. No E/H/J-profile or tie-rod bracket substitution.

    Sensor direct 020/030/050/100: 2/3/5/10 m; M08/M12 male M8/M12: 0.5 m; M08010/M08020/M08030 and M12010/M12020/M12030: 1/2/3 m. Length is independent of stroke. Female leads only for matching male connectors, never direct leads: B two-wire, C three-wire; female 020/030/050/100: 2/3/5/10 m. Pins: B 1 brown+, 4 blue−, 3 unused; C 1 brown+, 3 blue−, 4 black output.

    MA: −20 to +70°C; ordinary/W/industry sensors: −10 to +70°C, limiting installation to −10 to +70°C or stricter component ratings. H alone: −10 to +125°C, no LED; MA stays ≤70°C. Check female-cable electrical, temperature and environmental ratings. A05 robotics/flex-resistant; A06 oil-resistant/flex-resistant; both direct-only, no NPN/PNP, M8/M12 or added W; A05-CMSG no H. Industry bend radius: recommended 19 mm. DMS-W excludes quick connectors; EMS-W permits them as listed.

    Waterproof/oil-resistant sensors confer no cylinder/band/assembly waterproofing, immersion rating or universal oil compatibility. No prolonged immersion of waterproof sensors; keep other sensors dry. Avoid explosive atmospheres, strong magnetic fields, aggressive chemicals, excessive shock, rapid temperature changes, welding interference and magnetic debris. Protect industry sensors from unsuitable temperature/dust/water/oil; confirm actual oil/environment suitability and shield oil-resistant versions from weld spatter.

    Before power-on check voltage/polarity, controller input/load, allowable current, switching capacity, residual voltage, leakage current and pins; reed/two-wire electronic/NPN/PNP are not equivalent. Sensor fixing: 0.15–0.20 N·m, max 0.25; not band/cylinder-mount/rod-joint torque—follow their instructions. Centre sensor in verified actuation range. Avoid impact, cable tension and repeated flexing with cylinder motion; insulate, separate from power/high-voltage wiring, connect before energizing; periodically inspect fixing/cables/indication.

    Thread fit does not establish flow, quantities, clearance or speed: check load, stroke, tube length and operating point. Original 500 mm/s examples remain sizing references, not supplied or verified direct-fit parts; abbreviated controls omit tube OD, A/B direction and full options.

    MA is double-acting, single-rod: 0.15–1 MPa, −20–70°C, air filtered to 40 µm or finer. Use the lowest working-pressure rating and temperature-range intersection; 1.5 MPa proof is not working pressure. Keep original alignment, load-support, bumper and lubrication precautions. These routes are for positive-pressure air; component 10 Torr ratings do not establish tube or assembly vacuum suitability.

    Match PT1/8, gender, taper/parallel form and sealing seat; PT/G/NPT are not interchangeable and no gasket/sealant inclusion is assumed. Exclude sealant from air paths. Use body flats; support tube/components and leave wrench access/full rod travel. Swivels orient connections; they are not for continuous rotation. Isolate stored pressure and restrain loads before installation/removal. Check actual seals, lubricant/additives and environment.

    Push-ins need exact OD; locknuts also need accepted ID and suitable wall. Match every branch/unequal end, never approximate inch/metric sizes. Cut square, reject oval/damaged tube, insert, retain and leak-test per instructions. For locknuts: cap onto tube, tube into body, tighten cap; loosen before removal. A push-in release-button procedure does not apply.

    PHF/GPHF: male RA mates to the cylinder; female RB needs a separate matched connection/seal in that same chamber circuit. Never leave RB open, attach soft tube directly, close it arbitrarily or bridge chambers. Match both thread-adapter ends and genders. D colour and ordinary/mini/material suffixes imply neither uniform internals nor copper-free construction; a stainless cylinder tube does not mean all-stainless construction.

    Plastic push-ins/direct and tube-side controls: ≤1 MPa, −20–70°C. BPC/BPOC/GBPC metal push-ins: ≤0.9 MPa; BKC/listed metal adapters: ≤1 MPa. Both metal groups: 0–150°C, reduced with PU to 0–70°C or narrower. Material names do not override ratings.

    At the cylinder, A meters threaded-end→tube exhaust with free reverse flow (meter-out); B meters tube→thread inlet with free exhaust (meter-in). Follow actual arrows, chamber, load and circuit, not valve-port interpretation. Start restricted, open slowly, test both strokes and never force stops. Closed flow controls are not zero-leak safety isolation or load holding.

    PTL/GPTL push-lock recommended cap-rotation torque: 0.08 N·m for 1/8, not pipe torque. PSL/PSS/GPSS and PSA/GPSA use their own locks. Where listed, mini PTL-MS has no separate internal-material table. Where listed, standard PTL-S combines SUS304, aluminum and polymers. S does not promise all-SUS304 or copper-free construction.

    PSA/GPSA and listed -S types need separate exact-OD tube fittings; they are not male cylinder connections. Follow check/throttle symbols in each chamber line and keep free reverse flow; no A/B option or symmetric reverse-installation guarantee is inferred. Before combining restrictions verify pressure loss, exhaust response and motion stability.

    ASC: separate one-way inline control, two PT1/8 female ports needing matched male connections. Follow P/A and check/throttle symbols for the chosen chamber. Rated 0.05–0.95 MPa, −20–70°C, ≤40 µm filtered air; this cylinder line must stay within 0.15–0.95 MPa. Not a regulator, guaranteed speed setting or safety shutoff.

    GAFR S: optional 40 µm filter-regulator before the directional valve, two PT1/8 female ports needing matched male connections. Follow IN→OUT; check supply flow/pressure loss. The listed type has no reverse-flow valve: never insert it into a bidirectional chamber line or directly join female ports.

    GAFR: inlet ≤1 MPa, adjustment 0.15–0.9 MPa, −5–70°C nonfreezing. Maintain required cylinder pressure under load. Defaults: PC bowl, differential/manual drain, bracket, round snap-in gauge; PT/NPT gauge MPa/psi. Check bowl/environment compatibility. Filtration does not guarantee dew point or require a lubricator.

    US98A/UE95A examples: standard-pressure blue 100 m coils, 1 MPa at 23°C; apply PU temperature derating. US −20–70°C, UE −40–70°C. No supplied tube or installed length is implied. Other colours/lengths or lower-pressure thin-wall tubes need separate rating, wall/retention and installation checks, not OD alone.

    Exact mm OD×ID: 4×2.5, 6×4, 8×5, 10×6.5, 12×8; minimum bends US98A 10/15/20/25/35 mm, UE95A 8/12/17/20/30 mm respectively. Match the selected socket; locknuts also require accepted ID. The listed complete tube codes do not cover every ID listed in each fitting reference.

    Keep bends clear of connectors; support tube without kinks, flattening or tension. Observe PU restrictions on acids, alkalis, organic solvents, seawater, corrosive gases, prolonged sunlight and excess heat; verify lubricant/additives. Catalog codes do not promise production, stock or delivery; independently approve proposed alternatives dimensionally and operationally.
