This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X75SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X75SCM 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 MSAL25X75SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X75SCM is a single acting, push (spring return) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 75mm 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X75SCM.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X75SCM
The AirTAC MSAL25X75SCM is a discontinued single-acting push, spring-return mini cylinder. Air extends the 10mm rod for the 75mm work stroke, and an internal spring retracts it to a fail-safe home when air is released. It delivers 176.4 N of usable push force at 0.5 MPa and requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring.
The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL25X75SCM, matching the 25mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover. This MSAL features a -S magnet for position sensing with older CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MSBL upgrade shifts to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MSAL uses threaded covers, whereas the MSBL features a riveted rolling-packed body for enhanced structural integrity.

| Acting type | Single acting, push (spring return) |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| 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 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X75SCM 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 MSAL25X75SCM Is Used
PCB Router Ejector
Uses the 176.4 N push force at 0.5 MPa to eject cut printed circuit boards from a router fixture, with the spring ensuring the arm clears the workspace on air loss.
Textile Loom Diverter
Pushes a mechanical guide to switch yarn threads on a weaving loom, relying on the 50-800 mm/s speed range and fail-safe retracted home to prevent thread tangles.
Tray Sealing Press
Applies a brief 274.5 N clamping load at 0.7 MPa to hold a plastic food tray under a heat sealer, releasing instantly when the 3/2 valve drops air pressure.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X75SCM with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X75SCM
To replace the MSAL25X75SCM, install the MSBL25X75SCM, confirming the 25mm bore, 75mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, CM round-end back cover, and the -S magnet (noting your sensor stock must change from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). Maintain the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure, and never apply external load on the spring return stroke. If 176.4 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, step up to the 32mm bore (317.7 N at 0.5 MPa); if you need less force, step down to the 20mm bore (106.8 N at 0.5 MPa). Because the 75mm stroke on this 25mm body generates leverage, ensure correct front-mount alignment to prevent rod-bending side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X75SCM (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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X75SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X75SCM FAQ
Yes, the MSAL25X75SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL25X75SCM, matching the 25mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting. You must update your sensors, as the MSAL -S magnet uses older CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MSBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
This single-acting push cylinder provides 176.4 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa and 274.5 N at 0.7 MPa (max 27.9 kgf). It operates from 0.2 to 1.0 MPa; the 0.2 MPa minimum is required for air to overcome the internal return spring. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
