This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X90SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X90SU 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 MSAL32X90SU
The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X90SU is a single acting, push (spring return) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 90mm 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X90SU.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X90SU
The AirTAC MSAL32X90SU is a discontinued single-acting push mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 90 mm stroke. Air extends the rod while an internal spring retracts it, providing a fail-safe home on air loss. It delivers 317.7 N of usable push force at 0.5 MPa and 478.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X90SU, matching bore, stroke, and force.
This SKU includes a U flat-end back cover and an S magnet. The older MSAL uses threaded covers and CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the MSBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and a minimum 0.2 MPa air pressure is required to overcome the return spring.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X90SU Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X90SU |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X90SU |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 90 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X90SU 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 MSAL32X90SU Is Used
PCB Router Ejector
Uses the 317.7 N push force at 0.5 MPa to eject cut printed circuit boards from a router fixture, relying on the spring return to clear the workspace safely.
Stamping Blank Clamp
Holds sheet metal blanks in a progressive stamping die, where the fail-safe retracted home prevents crash damage on press downtime.
Bottle Capping Press
Applies precise downward pressure to cap plastic bottles, using the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the end-of-stroke impact without complex adjustment.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X90SU with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X90SU
To replace the MSAL32X90SU with the MSBL32X90SU, verify the 32 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U back cover, and S magnet. Remember the sensor family changes from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Maintain the 0.2 MPa minimum pressure and apply no external load on the spring return stroke.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 176.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 539.9 N. Because the 90 mm stroke on this compact body can induce rod bending, ensure rigid front mounting and minimize side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X90SU (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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X90SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X90SU FAQ
Yes, the MSAL32X90SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MSBL32X90SU, which matches the 32 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U back cover. You will only need to update your sensors from the older CS1-M / DS1-M to the newer CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family.
This single-acting push cylinder delivers 317.7 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa and 478.5 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal return spring and has a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
