This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MSAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MSBL32X150CM, 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 MSAL32X150CM
The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X150CM is a single acting, push (spring return) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X150CM.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X150CM
The AirTAC MSAL32X150CM is a discontinued single-acting push, spring-return mini cylinder. Air extends the 12 mm rod for the 150 mm stroke, while an internal spring retracts it to a fail-safe home when air is removed. This 32 mm bore delivers 317.7 N of usable push force at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MSBL32X150CM, matching the bore, stroke, CM cover, and G1/8 port.
This CM round-end SKU has no magnet and cannot accept a position sensor. If sensing is needed on the replacement, the MSBL -S variant uses modern CMSG or DMSG switches, whereas the legacy MSAL used older CS1-M or DS1-M parts. The original MSAL features threaded covers, while the current MSBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion. Apply no external load on the unpowered return stroke.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X150CM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X150CM |

| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 150 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X150CM carries the same single-acting ratings.
Usable Push Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force (net of spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 317.7 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 478.5 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 MSAL32X150CM Is Used
PCB Router Ejection
Pushes singulated circuit boards out of a routing fixture with 317.7 N at 0.5 MPa; the spring return clears the workspace for the next panel.
Textile Loom Diverter
Extends 150 mm to deflect a thread guide into position; air removal drops the guide back to its fail-safe retracted home to prevent yarn snags.
Aluminum Extrusion Gate
Acts as a 32 mm bore stop gate on a conveyor; the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the impact of profiles hitting the 12 mm rod at end-of-stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X150CM with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X150CM
To replace this MSAL32X150CM, order the MSBL32X150CM. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CM round-end back cover. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot hold a sensor; specify an MSBL -S model if you need position detection. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure required to overcome the return spring.
If sizing up or down, the 25 mm bore provides 176.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore yields 539.9 N at 0.5 MPa. Because this 150 mm stroke is the maximum standard length for a 32 mm bore, watch for side-load and rod-bending forces on long extensions. Ensure your mounting guides the load to protect the rod.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X150CM (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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X150CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X150CM FAQ
Yes, the MSAL32X150CM is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MSBL32X150CM, which matches the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, CM back cover, and G1/8 port. The MSBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design from the original threaded covers.
This single-acting push cylinder delivers 317.7 N at 0.5 MPa and 478.5 N at 0.7 MPa. Because the internal spring opposes the air stroke, the minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. The maximum force is 791.1 N at 0.7 MPa on the 40 mm bore, but this 32 mm bore peaks at 478.5 N.
