Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SCB
The AirTAC Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SCB 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 PSB10X10SCB
The AirTAC PSB10X10SCB is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 10 mm bore and 10 mm stroke. Air entering the single M5x0.8 port extends the Ø4 mm rod, while an internal spring retracts it upon exhaust release. This design requires only one solenoid line, simplifying tubing and lowering pneumatic costs. It delivers 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 a slim body, it fits easily into tight jigs. The CB double clevis mount accommodates pivoting loads, and the integrated magnet (-S) supports reed or electronic switches. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 18 N to account for friction, which can lift about 1.5 kg vertically.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SCB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SCB |
|---|---|
| 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 PSB10X10SCB Is Used
Part Ejector
Pushes finished plastic parts off a conveyor belt; the spring safely pulls the rod back if the air supply drops.
Pivoting Clamp
Uses the CB double clevis to swing and hold a light machining fixture in place during a drilling cycle.
Flap Guide
Extends to steer cardboard cartons on a packaging line, relying on the compact stainless body for damp spaces.
Is the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SCB the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore yields 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the Ø6 bore provides 10.6 N; for heavier tasks, the Ø12 bore offers 42.9 N. The internal spring ensures the rod retracts safely on air loss, though a minimum 0.2 MPa pressure is required to overcome the spring before motion begins. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, S magnet, CB double clevis, and M5x0.8 port.
Because the rod is a slender Ø4 mm, use an external guide or linear bearing for off-axis loads over long strokes. The fixed TPU bumper decelerates the final few millimeters; at higher speeds with real tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or add 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 PSB10X10SCB FAQ
It provides a net push of 29.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa. Because an internal spring returns the rod, a minimum pressure of 0.2 MPa is needed before the piston moves. The spring ensures the rod fails safe in the retracted position.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not adjustable. The S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing.
