This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80SCM 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 MSAL25X80SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X80SCM 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80SCM.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X80SCM
The AirTAC MSAL25X80SCM is a discontinued single-acting push, spring-return mini cylinder. Air extends the Ø10 mm rod for the 80 mm work stroke, while an internal spring retracts it to a fail-safe home when air is removed. It delivers 176.4 N of usable push force at 0.5 MPa and 274.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL25X80SCM, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing. On the MSAL, this uses older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches; the MSBL replacement upgrades to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MSAL features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, whereas the MSBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Both share the same 0.2-1.0 MPa operating pressure and PT port thread form.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X80SCM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X80SCM |

| Replacement | AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80SCM |
| 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80SCM 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 MSAL25X80SCM Is Used
PCB Router Gate
Shifts a routing machine gate open with 176.4 N push at 0.5 MPa; the spring return slams it shut on air loss to halt board flow instantly.
Stamping Ejector
Kicks small metal stamped parts out of a die using 274.5 N at 0.7 MPa, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the end-of-stroke impact.
Bottle Diverter
Pushes a deflector arm into a packaging line lane; the fail-safe spring return clears the lane when the 3/2 valve drops air.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X80SCM with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80SCM
Replace this MSAL25X80SCM directly with the MSBL25X80SCM. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, CM round-end cover, and -S magnet. Remember the sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Maintain the 0.2 MPa minimum air pressure to beat the return spring, and apply NO external load on the spring return stroke to avoid damaging the internals.
To size either direction, step down to the 20 mm bore (106.8 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter ejects, or up to the 32 mm bore (317.7 N at 0.5 MPa) for heavier pressing. At 80 mm stroke on this compact body, mind the side-load and rod-bending limits—use a guide to prevent chatter.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80SCM (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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL25X80SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL25X80SCM FAQ
Yes, the MSAL25X80SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL25X80SCM, matching the 25 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM cover. You only swap the sensor family from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
It is a single-acting push cylinder with a usable force of 176.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 274.5 N at 0.7 MPa (max 28 kgf). Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa; 0.2 MPa is the minimum to overcome the return spring.
