About the AirTAC PTL-M
The AirTAC PTL mini is a mini push-lock L-type (elbow) speed controller: one end screws into the cylinder or valve port, the other takes the air tube with a one-touch connection, and the elbow body turns the tube 90° away from the port. The flow is set with a push-lock knob: pull it out to set the flow, push it in to lock the setting. It controls actuator speed and can also throttle pneumatic signal lines.
All PTL mini codes work from 0 to 1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm²) and on vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), at -20 to +70 °C. Bodies are nickel-plated brass or SUS304 stainless steel. The thread end comes with thread sealant already applied (PTFE on the stainless versions). This page lists 32 stocked order codes for Ø4-6 mm tube and M5×0.8, PT1/8 threads.
The -MS versions have a SUS304 stainless steel body, for washdown, food, chemical or other corrosive environments.

Where the PTL-M Is Used
Cylinder speed control
Fitted in the cylinder port, it sets how fast the piston extends and retracts.
Signal and pilot lines
Slows pneumatic signals and pilot lines where timing matters.
Washdown and corrosive areas
SUS304 stainless steel (-MS) versions for food, packaging and chemical lines.
Choosing the Right PTL-M Configuration
Start with the tube: pick the outside diameter of the air tube you use, Ø4, Ø6 mm.
Then the port thread of the cylinder or valve it screws into. Each thread is paired with certain tube sizes: M5×0.8: Ø4, Ø6 mm; PT1/8: Ø4, Ø6 mm.
Then the throttle direction. Meter-out (A) restricts the air leaving the cylinder: it gives the steadiest speed and is the usual choice for double-acting cylinders. Meter-in (B) restricts the air going in, for single-acting cylinders and small-volume circuits.
Finally the finish: grey is standard, D is the same part in black; -MS selects the SUS304 stainless steel body.
AirTAC PTL-M FAQ
A (meter-out) throttles the exhaust air leaving the actuator, the usual choice for double-acting cylinders. B (meter-in) throttles the supply air going in, used for single-acting cylinders and small-volume circuits.
M5×0.8: Ø4, Ø6 mm; PT1/8: Ø4, Ø6 mm. These are the pairs listed in the AirTAC catalog.
0 to 1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm²), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), -20 to +70 °C.
Yes. Codes ending in -MS have a SUS304 stainless steel body; the standard body is nickel-plated brass.
D is the black version. Without D the part is grey; size and function are the same.
No. You can order a single piece. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
