This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75U — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75U 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 MSAL32X75U
The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75U 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75U.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75U
The AirTAC MSAL32X75U is a discontinued single-acting push cylinder with a 32mm bore and 75mm stroke. Air extends the rod for work, while an internal spring retracts it to a fail-safe home when air is removed. It delivers a usable push force of 317.7 N at 0.5 MPa (478.5 N at 0.7 MPa). The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X75U, which matches the bore, stroke, force, and port.
This U-coded SKU features a flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting. Because it lacks the -S suffix, this specific cylinder cannot accept a position sensor. If you upgrade to the MSBL32X75U, note the construction changes: the older MSAL uses threaded covers and the CS1-M/DS1-M sensor family, whereas the MSBL features a riveted rolling-packed body and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact without adjustable cushioning.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75U Technical Specifications

| 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75U 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 MSAL32X75U Is Used
PCB Router Ejector
Pushes singulated circuit boards out of a routing fixture with 317.7 N at 0.5 MPa; the spring return clears the bay when air drops.
Stamping Press Guard
Extends a physical safety gate across a small stamping press; the spring-driven fail-safe home opens the guard on air loss.
Bottle Divert Arm
Actuates a diverter on a packaging line to reject bottles; the rigid U back cover mounts solidly against the 75mm stroke impact.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75U with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75U
To replace this MSAL32X75U, order the MSBL32X75U and confirm your 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and U flat-end back cover. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure required to overcome the return spring, and apply no external load on the return stroke. If sizing a new application, step down to a 25mm bore for 176.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to a 40mm bore for 539.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At this 75mm stroke on a mini cylinder, watch for side-load and rod-bending forces.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75U (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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X75U instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X75U FAQ
Yes, the MSAL32X75U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X75U, matching the 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U back cover. The MSBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design, but the force and mounting remain identical.
This single-acting push cylinder delivers 317.7 N at 0.5 MPa and 478.5 N at 0.7 MPa (about 48.8 kgf). It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal return spring. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.
