The AirTAC Airtac MSBL Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MSBL40X75SU is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Air drives the push (work) stroke and the spring returns the rod — it rests retracted on air loss.
The AirTAC MSBL40X75SU is a 40mm bore, 75mm stroke single-acting push cylinder with a spring return. Air extends the rod to deliver 439.6 N of usable push force at 0.5 MPa, while an internal spring retracts it when air is released. This fail-safe home state ensures the cylinder safely defaults to its retracted position during a loss of air pressure. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body compact for tight machinery spaces.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection and uses a U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting. Unlike double-acting cylinders, it requires only a 3/2 solenoid valve and a single air line, simplifying plumbing. The 16mm hard-chrome carbon steel rod resists wear, and a fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact without the need for adjustable cushions. Note that the return spring is designed only to retract the rod itself; do not apply external loads during the return stroke.

Single-acting minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa (the air must overcome the return spring). Do not apply an external load during the spring return stroke. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

These are the usable single-acting forces after the return spring — lower than a same-bore double-acting MBL. Size with a margin.

Uses the 439.6 N push force at 0.5 MPa to eject stamped aluminum panels from a die, with the spring return ensuring the ejector pin retracts safely on air loss.
Holds wooden cabinet frames steady during routing operations; the single-acting design guarantees the clamp releases to a fail-safe home position if the air supply drops.
Pushes corrugated carton flaps down at 75mm stroke on a packaging line, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the impact without needing complex adjustment.
At 0.5 MPa, this 40mm bore yields 439.6 N of push force. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 32mm bore provides 281.3 N at the same pressure. As the largest available single-acting MSBL size, there is no larger bore to step up to; if you need more push force than the 690.8 N provided at 0.7 MPa, a double-acting MBL cylinder is required. Remember that the minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring.
When replacing this unit, match the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, and -S magnet. The 75mm stroke is moderate for this bore, but always use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. The -S magnet supports AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG, and EMSG (electronic) sensor switches.
Quick checklist
The usable push force is 439.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 690.8 N at 0.7 MPa (equivalent to roughly 70.4 kgf). The operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa, with a 0.2 MPa minimum required to overcome the internal return spring.
Air extends the rod, while the internal spring retracts it to a fail-safe home position when air is released; do not apply external loads during this return stroke. The built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors to detect rod position.
