Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL40X60CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL40X60CA is a genuine single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Air drives the pull (work) stroke and the spring returns the rod — it rests extended on air loss.

About the Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL40X60CA
The AirTAC MTBL40X60CA is a single-acting, pull-type, spring-extend aluminum mini cylinder. Air retracts the Ø16 mm rod to perform work on the pull stroke, while an internal spring extends it back out. It delivers a usable pull force of 339.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 550.1 N at 0.7 MPa. The 60 mm stroke suits mechanisms needing firm tensioning or drawing closed. It uses a G1/4 port and a fixed rubber bumper instead of an adjustable air cushion.
This SKU features a CA pivot/clevis back cover that swings on a pin to absorb arcing, angular loads. It lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot take a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. The riveted rolling-packed barrel and 20 µm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod ensure durability. Overall length equals A plus 2 x stroke, making the body longer than a double-acting MBL.
Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL40X60CA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL40X60CA |

| Stroke | 60 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, pull (spring extend) |
| Port size | G1/4 |
| Rod thread | M12×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.2 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 100 mm |
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.
Usable Pull Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (net of spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 339.1 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 550.1 N |
These are the usable single-acting forces after the return spring — lower than a same-bore double-acting MBL. Size with a margin.

Where the Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL40X60CA Is Used
Packaging Lid Sealing
Draws a carton lid closed with 339.1 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, while the CA pivot bracket accommodates the slight angular misalignment of the sealing arm.
Textile Fabric Tensioning
Pulls a fabric guide tight during web handling; the spring-extend design guarantees the material loosens safely to a defined extended rest state on air loss.
Woodworking Clamp Retraction
Retracts a holding clamp away from a workpiece on the pull stroke, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the end-of-stroke impact without adjustable cushion.
Is the Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL40X60CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore if you need high pulling force in a compact frame. To step down, the 32 mm bore offers 224.8 N at 0.5 MPa; to step up beyond this largest single-acting size, consult a double-acting MBL. The MTBL provides a fail-safe extended home on air loss, opposite to the MSBL push type which fails retracted. Minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring, with a speed range of 50-800 mm/s.
Apply NO extra external load during the spring-extend return stroke. The CA pivot cover is ideal for articulating mechanisms, unlike the rigid U flat-end. Thread is PT. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, no sensor can be fitted. For a 60 mm stroke on this small bore, manage side loads to prevent rod bending.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Usable pull force at your pressure (min 0.2 MPa)
- ✓ Fail-safe rest position (extended)
- ✓ No external load on the spring return stroke
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.2 – 1.0 MPa (min 0.2 to overcome the spring).
- check Apply no external load on the spring return stroke.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Use the correct mounting accessory (LB / FA / SDB) and back cover (CA / U).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL40X60CA FAQ
The usable pull force, already net of the return spring, is 22.6 N at 0.2 MPa, 128.1 N at 0.3 MPa, 233.6 N at 0.4 MPa, 339.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 444.6 N at 0.6 MPa, and 550.1 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa, requiring a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring.
No. This specific MTBL40X60CA SKU lacks the built-in -S magnet, so it cannot be fitted with AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors. It also features a CA pivot/clevis back cover for arcing loads and fails safe to the extended home position on air loss.
