This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X110CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X110CA in place of this model. The replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (the MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M).
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X110CA
The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X110CA is a single acting, push (spring return) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 110mm stroke, G1/8 ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Air drives the push (work) stroke and the spring returns the rod — it rests retracted on air loss. This model is discontinued; the drop-in replacement is the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X110CA.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X110CA
The AirTAC MSAL25X110CA is a discontinued single-acting push, spring-return mini cylinder. Air extends the rod for the work stroke, while an internal spring retracts it to a fail-safe home when air is released. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL25X110CA, matching the 25 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA clevis. At 0.5 MPa, usable push force is 176.4 N (274.5 N at 0.7 MPa). Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot accept a position sensor. The MSAL uses older CS1-M/DS1-M switches and threaded covers, while the MSBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper. The CA back cover provides a pivot clevis for arcing loads.

| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 150 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. The AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X110CA carries the same single-acting ratings.
Usable Push Force (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force (net of spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 176.4 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 274.5 N |
Usable single-acting force after the return spring — lower than a same-bore double-acting cylinder. Size with a margin.

Where the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X110CA Is Used
PCB Router Ejector
Deploys 176.4 N at 0.5 MPa to push cut circuit boards out of a routing fixture, relying on the spring return to clear the bay for the next panel.
Arcing Flap Diverter
The CA pivot clevis accommodates swing geometry while the 110 mm stroke pushes a guide flap between two packaging chutes.
Fail-Safe Parts Gate
Air extends the rod to open a machine inspection port; on air loss, the internal spring drives the 110 mm stroke back to a retracted fail-safe home.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X110CA with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X110CA
To replace this MSAL25X110CA, order the MSBL25X110CA. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CA pivot clevis. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if position detection is needed, step up to an -S MSBL model which uses the newer CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Maintain the 0.2 MPa minimum air pressure to extend the rod, and apply no external load on the spring return stroke for safety.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20 mm bore drops usable push to 106.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore raises it to 317.7 N. At 110 mm stroke on this compact 25 mm body, minimize side loads to prevent rod bending. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs impact; it is not an adjustable cushion or a load lock.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X110CA (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Same push direction and retracted fail-safe home
- ✓ Min 0.2 MPa; no external load on the spring return
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
- ✓ Confirm back cover (CA / U) and thread (PT/NPT/G)
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 Front/rear covers are threaded — not for field disassembly.
- check For new builds, specify the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X110CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X110CA FAQ
