This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X80SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X80SCM 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 MSAL32X80SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X80SCM is a single acting, push (spring return) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X80SCM.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X80SCM
The AirTAC MSAL32X80SCM is a discontinued single-acting push cylinder with an 80mm stroke and spring return. Air extends the rod to do work, while an internal spring retracts it to a fail-safe home when air is released. It delivers a usable push force of 317.7N at 0.5MPa (478.5N at 0.7MPa). The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X80SCM, sharing the same 32mm bore, stroke, and force class.
This SKU features a -S magnet for position sensing, originally designed for CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MSBL successor upgrades to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The legacy MSAL uses threaded covers, whereas the MSBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper, as no adjustable cushion exists on this single-acting model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X80SCM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X80SCM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |

| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 80 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X80SCM 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 MSAL32X80SCM Is Used
PCB Router Clamping
Extends to hold a printed circuit board panel against a fixture during routing. The 317.7N push force at 0.5MPa secures the part, while the spring return releases it instantly on air loss.
Bottle Sorting Diverter
Pushes a guide pin to divert plastic bottles on a conveyor line. The 80mm stroke provides ample travel, and the fail-safe retracted home prevents jamming if the pneumatic supply drops.
Light Stamping Ejector
Ejects thin aluminum stampings from a die after a press cycle. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs the end-of-stroke impact without requiring adjustment, protecting the lightweight parts.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X80SCM with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X80SCM
To replace this MSAL32X80SCM with the MSBL32X80SCM, confirm the 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CM round-end back cover, and -S magnet (noting the switch family change to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). Ensure your air supply meets the 0.2MPa minimum to overcome the return spring, and apply no external load on the return stroke for safety. At 80mm of travel on a 32mm bore, watch for side-load and rod-bending forces—keep the load guided.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 176.4N of push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 539.9N at 0.5MPa. Use these figures to match your actual clamping or ejection force requirements.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X80SCM (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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X80SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X80SCM FAQ
Yes, the MSAL32X80SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X80SCM, which matches the 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting. You will need to upgrade your position sensors from the older CS1-M/DS1-M to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
This single-acting push cylinder delivers a usable force of 317.7N at 0.5MPa and 478.5N at 0.7MPa. The maximum force is roughly 48.7 kgf at 0.7MPa. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2MPa to overcome the internal return spring and extend the rod.
