This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MSAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MSBL40X75SCM, 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 MSAL40X75SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL40X75SCM is a single acting, push (spring return) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm stroke, G1/4 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL40X75SCM.

About the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL40X75SCM
The AirTAC MSAL40X75SCM is a discontinued single-acting push, spring-return mini cylinder. Air extends the 16 mm hard-chrome rod for the 75 mm work stroke, while an internal spring retracts it to a fail-safe home when air stops. This 40 mm bore provides a usable push force of 539.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 791.1 N at 0.7 MPa, operating on a 0.2-1.0 MPa range with a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the MSBL40X75SCM, matching the bore, stroke, force, and CM mounting.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches; the MSBL upgrade transitions to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MSAL uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, whereas the current MSBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Apply no external load on the unpowered spring return stroke to prevent mechanical damage.

| 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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL40X75SCM carries the same single-acting ratings.
Usable Push Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force (net of spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 539.9 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 791.1 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 MSAL40X75SCM Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Ejects small stamped metal parts from a die using 539.9 N of push at 0.5 MPa, with the spring return safely retracting the rod when air is removed.
Packaging Line Diverter
Pushes cartons onto a secondary packaging belt with a 75 mm stroke, relying on the fail-safe retracted home position during an emergency stop.
Woodworking Clamp
Applies 791.1 N of holding force at 0.7 MPa to secure wooden workpieces for routing, releasing instantly via the internal spring on air loss.
Replacing the Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL40X75SCM with AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL40X75SCM
To replace this MSAL40X75SCM with the MSBL40X75SCM, verify your 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and CM round-end back cover. The -S magnet means you must swap your existing CS1-M or DS1-M switches for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Ensure your air supply meets the 0.2 MPa minimum to overcome the return spring, and never apply external load on the return stroke.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 32 mm bore drops the usable push force to 317.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not available as 40 mm is the largest in this mini series. At 75 mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending risks are moderate, so ensure rigid front mounting and a free rod-end connection to avoid binding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL40X75SCM (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 AIRTACMSBLFRONTSINGLEACTINGCOMPACTCYLINDERMSBL40X75SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MSAL Front Single Acting Compact Cylinder MSAL40X75SCM FAQ
Yes, the MSAL40X75SCM is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MSBL40X75SCM, which matches the 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 539.9 N push force at 0.5 MPa, G1/4 port, and CM mounting. You will need to upgrade your CS1-M or DS1-M switches to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.
The 40 mm bore single-acting push cylinder provides a usable force of 539.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 791.1 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal return spring, with a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
