This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MSAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MSBL32X75U, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 direct 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 direct 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.

| 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 direct 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.
