Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10CB
The AirTAC Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10CB is a single acting, push type (spring return) pen-size mini cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 10mm stroke. A single air port drives the push stroke; the built-in return spring resets the rod when air is released, so only one solenoid line is needed.

About the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10CB
The AirTAC PSB10X10CB is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 10 mm stroke and a CB double clevis back cover. Air entering the M5x0.8 port extends the Ø4 mm rod, while an internal spring retracts it upon exhaust release. This single-line operation simplifies valving and tubing while ensuring the rod fails safe to the retracted position if air pressure drops. You get 29.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa.
Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and slim mini body, it fits tight jigs and light end-of-arm tooling. The fixed TPU bumper decelerates the last few millimeters of travel. Because the return spring opposes the air stroke, a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa is required before motion begins. Plan for a safe working load of about 18 N, which is roughly 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating, to account for seal friction and smooth travel.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10CB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10CB |
|---|---|
| Series | PSB JIS pen-size mini cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, push type (spring return) |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.2 – 0.7 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.2 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |
| Return | Return spring (push by air) |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 60 mm |
The spring holds the rod retracted; applying air pushes the rod out, and removing air lets the spring return it. Forces below are the NET spring-deducted values from the AirTAC thrust table. Confirm against the product label before installation.
Net Push Force (Ø10mm)
| Pressure | Net push force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 29.8 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 45.5 N |
These are the usable push forces after the return spring is subtracted, taken directly from the AirTAC single-acting thrust table. Minimum operating pressure is set by the spring, so this model needs at least the lower pressure shown to move.

Where the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10CB Is Used
Part Ejector
Pushes light machined parts off a conveyor lane with 29.8 N net force, relying on the spring to retract safely during air loss.
Pivoting Clamp
Uses the CB double clevis to swing and hold a small workpiece, providing fail-safe release when the solenoid exhausts.
Flap Guide
Extends briefly to steer carton flaps on a packaging line, with the single air port keeping tubing minimal in tight spaces.
Is the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10CB the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore provides 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to a 6 mm bore yields 10.6 N. For heavier tasks, moving up to a 12 mm bore offers 42.9 N. The CB double clevis inlet is ideal for pivoting loads, and the thin Ø4 mm rod requires an external guide or linear bearing for off-axis loads over long strokes. Remember the spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before the rod moves, and it holds the rod retracted without live air. Confirm your ordering essentials: bore, stroke, no magnet, CB back cover, and mounting bracket.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net push force at your working pressure
- ✓ Only one air line / solenoid needed
- ✓ Fail-safe retract on air loss
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Stroke ≤ 60 mm (single-acting limit)
- ✓ Keep the load coaxial — avoid side load
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.2 – 0.7 MPa operating pressure.
- check Allow for spring force in the stroke direction.
- check Do not add an external return mechanism.
- check Keep the load coaxial; avoid side load on the thin rod.
- check Do not dismantle the front or back cover.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10CB FAQ
The net push force is 29.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa. Because the internal spring opposes the air stroke, a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa is required before the rod moves. The spring also ensures the rod fails safe to the retracted position.
The fixed TPU bumper decelerates the rod over the last few millimeters of travel but is not a lock. At higher speeds with real tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber. The CB double clevis allows the cylinder to pivot with the load.
