This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75SCA 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 MSAL32X75SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75SCA 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75SCA.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75SCA
The AirTAC MSAL32X75SCA is a discontinued single-acting push cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 75 mm stroke. Air extends the rod to deliver 317.7 N of usable push force at 0.5 MPa, while an internal spring retracts it to a fail-safe home when air is removed. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X75SCA, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CA clevis mounting.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing. The legacy MSAL uses threaded covers and works with older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, whereas the current MSBL features a riveted rolling-packed body and uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, as no adjustable cushion is provided on this type.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75SCA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75SCA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75SCA |
| 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75SCA 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 MSAL32X75SCA Is Used
PCB Router Gate
Extends to divert populated circuit boards into an inspection lane with 317.7 N at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring return to safely retract the gate during an air loss event.
Aluminum Extrusion Press
Applies 478.5 N at 0.7 MPa to hold a frame profile against a machining stop, with the CA clevis absorbing the slight arcing motion of the actuating arm.
Bottle Sorting Diverter
Pushes plastic containers from a filling conveyor line at 50-800 mm/s, using the fixed rubber bumper to quietly absorb the rapid 75 mm extension impact.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75SCA with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75SCA
To replace this MSAL32X75SCA, install the MSBL32X75SCA and confirm the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and CA pivot back cover. You must also swap your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure required to overcome the return spring, and apply no external load on the spring return stroke.
If sizing a new application, step down to a 25 mm bore for 176.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to a 40 mm bore for 539.9 N. Because this 75 mm stroke is relatively long for a 32 mm bore, ensure the front-cover guide is aligned to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75SCA (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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75SCA FAQ
Yes, the MSAL32X75SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X75SCA, which matches the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA clevis mounting. You will need to upgrade your position sensors from the older CS1-M or DS1-M to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series.
This single-acting push cylinder delivers 317.7 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa and 478.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 791.1 N at 1.0 MPa (roughly 80 kgf). It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal return spring and extend the rod.
