This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MSAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MSBL25X75SCM, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 direct 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 direct 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 direct 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.
