This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CM 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 MSAL32X75CM
The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75CM 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CM.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75CM
The AirTAC MSAL32X75CM is a discontinued single-acting push cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 75 mm stroke. Air extends the rod to do work, while an internal spring retracts it, providing a fail-safe retracted home on air loss. It delivers 317.7 N of usable push force at 0.5 MPa (478.5 N at 0.7 MPa). The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X75CM, matching the bore, stroke, CM round-end back cover, and G1/8 port.
This CM variant features a round-end back cover and uses a default PT tapered port thread. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept a position sensor. The legacy MSAL body uses threaded covers and the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the MSBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and modern CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. End-of-stroke damping relies on a fixed rubber bumper, as no adjustable cushion is provided.

| 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CM 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 MSAL32X75CM Is Used
PCB Router Clamp
Holds a printed circuit board flat against a routing fixture using 317.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, with the spring return automatically releasing the board on air loss.
Bottle Sorting Diverter
Extends 75 mm to push plastic bottles into a reject lane, relying on the fail-safe retracted home to prevent jamming if the 0.2 MPa minimum air supply drops.
Stamping Ejector Pin
Kicks small aluminum stampings out of a die cavity, where the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the 75 mm stroke impact without needing an adjustable cushion.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75CM with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CM
To replace this MSAL32X75CM, install the MSBL32X75CM. Verify your 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, and CM round-end back cover. Since this original SKU has no -S magnet, you cannot fit a sensor; if position detection is now required, step up to an MSBL32X75SCM and use CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure needed to overcome the return spring, and never apply external load on the spring return stroke.
For sizing alternatives, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 176.4 N push force at 0.5 MPa, which is insufficient if you need the full 317.7 N. Stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 539.9 N at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a larger G1/4 port. At 75 mm stroke on these compact bores, ensure your mounting resists side-load to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CM (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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75CM FAQ
Yes, the MSAL32X75CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X75CM, matching the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, CM round-end cover, and G1/8 port. The MSBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design but retains the same force class.
The usable push force is 317.7 N at 0.5 MPa and 478.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 48.8 kgf. The minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa, which is required to overcome the internal return spring. The spring provides a fail-safe retracted home but is not a lock for holding mid-stroke loads.
