This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CA 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 MSAL32X75CA
The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75CA is a single acting, push (spring return) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm 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 drop-in replacement is the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CA.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75CA
The AirTAC MSAL32X75CA is a discontinued single-acting push mini cylinder with a 32mm bore and 75mm stroke. Air extends the rod to do work, while an internal spring retracts it to a fail-safe home when air is removed. It delivers 317.7 N of usable push force at 0.5 MPa and 478.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X75CA, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot cover.
This CA back cover is a pivot clevis that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads. The MSAL32X75CA has no magnet (-S) and cannot accept a position sensor. As an upgrade fact, the MSAL uses older threaded covers, whereas the MSBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Apply no external load on the spring return stroke to avoid damaging the cylinder.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75CA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75CA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CA |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 75 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CA 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 MSAL32X75CA Is Used
PCB Router Ejector
Uses the 317.7 N push force at 0.5 MPa to eject cut circuit boards from a routing fixture, with the spring ensuring a fail-safe retracted home when the 3/2 valve drops air.
Packaging Flap Folder
The CA pivot clevis swings on a pin to absorb machine arc while folding carton flaps, leveraging the 75mm stroke for a deep travel path.
Textile Bale Stamper
Applies 478.5 N of push force at 0.7 MPa to stamp tracking labels, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the end-of-stroke impact.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75CA with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CA
To replace the MSAL32X75CA, use the MSBL32X75CA. Confirm the 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover are retained. Because this MSAL lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if you need position feedback, the MSBL upgrade requires the newer CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch families rather than the older CS1-M/DS1-M. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure to overcome the return spring, and never apply external load on the return stroke.
For sizing, step down to the 25mm bore (176.4 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter ejection tasks, or step up to the 40mm bore (539.9 N push at 0.5 MPa) for heavier pressing. With a 75mm stroke on this compact 32mm body, check rod side-loading and avoid bending moments to preserve the hard-chrome rod and guide.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CA (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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75CA FAQ
Yes, the MSAL32X75CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X75CA, which matches the 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, CA pivot cover, G1/8 port, and single-acting push function.
The usable push force is 317.7 N at 0.5 MPa and 478.5 N at 0.7 MPa (about 48.8 kgf). The operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa, with a 0.2 MPa minimum required for air to overcome the internal return spring.
