This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80CM 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 MSAL25X80CM
The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X80CM is a single acting, push (spring return) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80CM.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X80CM
The AirTAC MSAL25X80CM is a discontinued single-acting push mini cylinder with an 80 mm stroke. Air extends the Ø25 mm rod, delivering 176.4 N of usable push force at 0.5 MPa, while an internal spring retracts it to a fail-safe home. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL25X80CM, sharing the same bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover.
This non-magnet SKU cannot accept a position sensor. Upgrading to the MSBL25X80CM gives you a riveted rolling-packed body instead of these older threaded covers, and if you ever need a sensor, the MSBL supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches rather than the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M. End-of-stroke damping relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X80CM Technical Specifications

| Replacement | AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80CM |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 80 mm |
| 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80CM 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 MSAL25X80CM Is Used
PCB Router Ejector
Pushes singulated circuit boards out of a routing fixture with 176.4 N at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring return to clear the bay for the next panel.
Bottle Sorter Diverter
Acts as a fail-safe gate arm in a packaging line, extending to divert plastic bottles and retracting automatically on air loss to prevent jams.
Stamping Press Blank Loader
Feeds thin metal blanks into a mechanical press, using the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the hard stop at full extension without damaging the parts.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X80CM with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80CM
To replace this MSAL25X80CM with the MSBL25X80CM, confirm the Ø25 bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, CM back cover, and lack of a magnet (this SKU uses no sensor). Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure required to overcome the return spring, and apply no external load on the spring return stroke. If sizing up or down, the Ø32 bore provides 317.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while the Ø20 bore yields 106.8 N. For an 80 mm stroke on these small bores, watch for rod-bending under heavy side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80CM (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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X80CM FAQ
Yes, the MSAL25X80CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL25X80CM, which matches the 25 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting. The new MSBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers.
This single-acting push cylinder requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring. It delivers a usable push force of 176.4 N at 0.5 MPa, 225.5 N at 0.6 MPa, and 274.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
