This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MSAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MSBL32X95CA, 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).

The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X95CA is a single acting, push (spring return) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 95mm 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X95CA.
The AirTAC MSAL32X95CA is a discontinued single-acting push, spring-return mini cylinder. Air extends the Ø32 mm rod 95 mm; an internal spring drives it to a fail-safe retracted home on air loss. It yields a usable push force of 317.7 N at 0.5 MPa (478.5 N at 0.7 MPa). The direct replacement is the MSBL32X95CA, matching bore, stroke, force, and port.
This SKU has a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads. It uses threaded covers and a PT G1/8 port. Because it lacks the -S suffix, this cylinder cannot take a position sensor. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact; it is not a lock and cannot hold a mid-stroke load.

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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X95CA carries the same single-acting ratings.
| Pressure | Push force (net of spring) |

Usable single-acting force after the return spring — lower than a same-bore double-acting cylinder. Size with a margin.

| 32 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×95 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional magnet for a CS1-M / DS1-M sensor (MSBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). |

Replacement: MSAL → MSBL. Related: MTAL/MTBL (single-acting pull), MAL/MBL (double acting).
Ejecting small sheet metal brackets from a stamping die. The 317.7 N push at 0.5 MPa clears the part, and the spring return provides a fail-safe home if air drops.
Folding carton flaps on a rotary packaging line. The CA pivot cover absorbs the slight arcing motion as the flap folds, preventing rod binding.
Diverting yarn threads on a textile loom. The 95 mm stroke shifts the guide arm, and the single-acting push design simplifies wiring to one 3/2 valve.
Replace this MSAL32X95CA directly with the MSBL32X95CA. Confirm the Ø32 bore, 95 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot cover. The MSBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers. If you previously used a -S magnet, note the MSBL switches from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; this no-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring, and you must apply no external load on the return stroke.
Size both ways: if 317.7 N at 0.5 MPa is too much, step down to the Ø25 bore (176.4 N); if you need more force, step up to the Ø40 bore (539.9 N). At 95 mm stroke on this small bore, watch for side-load and rod-bending—ensure rigid front mounting and true alignment to prevent guide wear.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MSAL32X95CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MSBL32X95CA, which matches the 32 mm bore, 95 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot cover. The MSBL upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if you add a magnet.
The usable push force is 317.7 N at 0.5 MPa and 478.5 N at 0.7 MPa (max 48.8 kgf). Minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa because the air must overcome the internal return spring. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-impact; it cannot hold a load at mid-stroke.
