Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10R
The AirTAC Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10R 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 PSB10X10R
The AirTAC PSB10X10R is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 10 mm stroke. Air entering the single M5x0.8 port extends the Ø4 mm rod, while an internal spring retracts it upon exhaust. This design requires only one solenoid line, simplifying tubing and cutting costs. If air pressure drops, the spring ensures the rod fails safely in the retracted position.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and rod, this slim mini body fits tight jigs and light end-of-arm tooling. It provides 29.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the stroke over the final few millimeters. For smooth operation, plan for a safe working load of about 18 N, which accounts for seal friction and travel consistency.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10R Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10R |
|---|---|
| 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 PSB10X10R Is Used
Part Ejection
Pushes machined pins out of a fixture on a lathe; the spring safely pulls the rod back when air is removed.
Gate Diversion
Acts as a compact diverter arm on a packaging line, extending to route small cartons down a side lane.
Clamp Release
Holds a cardboard blank steady during folding, then retracts automatically if the compressed air supply halts.
Is the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10R the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore generates 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 6 mm bore yields 10.6 N, while moving up to a 12 mm bore provides 42.9 N. The internal return spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure before the rod can move. When ordering, confirm the 10 mm stroke, R axial inlet, M8x1.0 rod-end thread, and whether you need an LB, FA, or CJ mounting bracket.
The thin Ø4 mm rod handles coaxial thrust well but is not built for side loads. Over this 10 mm stroke, keep loads aligned or add an external linear bearing. Because there is no -S suffix, this unit lacks a sensor magnet. The fixed TPU bumper manages low-energy impacts, but at higher cycling speeds with real tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or install an external shock absorber.
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 PSB10X10R FAQ
The net push force is 29.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa (maximum pressure). Because an internal spring returns the rod, a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa is required before the piston moves.
Air extends the rod while a spring retracts it, requiring only one air line. The fixed TPU bumper decelerates the rod over the last few millimeters of travel. It is not adjustable, so for heavy tooling mass at high speeds, use meter-out flow control or an external shock absorber.
