This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X95CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X95CA 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 MSAL32X95CA
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 drop-in replacement is the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X95CA.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X95CA
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 exact drop-in 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.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X95CA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X95CA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X95CA |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 95 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X95CA 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 MSAL32X95CA Is Used
Stamping Press Ejector
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.
Packaging Flap Folder
Folding carton flaps on a rotary packaging line. The CA pivot cover absorbs the slight arcing motion as the flap folds, preventing rod binding.
Textile Loom Diverter
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.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X95CA with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X95CA
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
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X95CA (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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL32X95CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL32X95CA FAQ
Yes, the MSAL32X95CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in 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.
