This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X60SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X60SCA 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 MSAL32X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X60SCA is a single acting, push (spring return) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X60SCA.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X60SCA
The AirTAC MSAL32X60SCA is a discontinued single-acting push cylinder with a 60mm stroke. Air extends the Ø12mm rod to deliver 317.7N of usable push force at 0.5MPa, while an internal spring retracts it to a fail-safe home when air is removed. The direct drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X60SCA, matching the bore, stroke, and G1/8 port exactly.
This CA variant features a rear pivot clevis that swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads. As an MSAL it uses threaded covers and a -S magnet for older CS1-M/DS1-M switches; stepping up to the MSBL brings a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper, as no adjustable cushion exists on this series.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X60SCA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X60SCA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X60SCA |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X60SCA 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 MSAL32X60SCA Is Used
Stamping Press Ejector
Uses the 317.7N push at 0.5MPa to knock stamped sheet metal parts out of a die, relying on the spring return to clear the bed before the next cycle.
Pivoted Arcing Gate
The CA clevis allows the rod end to swing on a pin, ideal for pushing a curved diverter gate that arcs through 60mm of travel in a packaging sorter.
Fail-Safe Holding Wall
Air extends the rod to block a pallet on a conveyor; if air pressure drops below 0.2MPa, the spring instantly retracts the wall to prevent line jams.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X60SCA with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X60SCA
To replace this MSAL with the MSBL32X60SCA, confirm the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CA pivot cover. Swap your CS1-M/DS1-M sensors for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Maintain at least 0.2MPa air pressure to overcome the return spring, and never apply external load on the spring return stroke. At 60mm, watch for side-load rod-bending on arcing pivots.
If sizing force, step down to the 25mm bore (176.4N push at 0.5MPa) for lighter ejects, or step up to the 40mm bore (539.9N at 0.5MPa) for heavier presses. Note that 60mm is a non-standard stroke for this series.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X60SCA (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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X60SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X60SCA FAQ
Yes, the MSAL32X60SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X60SCA, matching the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, CA pivot, and G1/8 port. You will need to upgrade your switches from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the new CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
This single-acting push cylinder delivers 317.7N at 0.5MPa and 478.5N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum of roughly 48.8 kgf. It operates from 0.2-1.0MPa; 0.2MPa is the minimum because air must overcome the internal return spring.
