Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SR
The AirTAC Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SR 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 PSB10X10SR
The AirTAC PSB10X10SR is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 10 mm bore and 10 mm stroke. Air entering the M5x0.8 port extends the Ø4 mm rod, while an internal spring retracts it upon exhaust. This fail-safe design ensures the rod returns home if air pressure drops. You get 29.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with the spring force already deducted.
Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and rod, the slim mini body fits tight spaces and damp jigs. The S suffix adds a piston magnet for position sensing with reed or electronic switches. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. For stable operation, plan for a safe working load of about 18 N, which is roughly 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SR Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SR |
|---|---|
| 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 PSB10X10SR Is Used
Part Ejection
Pushes finished metal stamps out of a machining fixture. The spring-return design keeps the retracted rod clear of the workspace during loading.
Gate Diversion
Acts as a compact diverter arm on a packaging line. Fail-safe retraction opens the gate automatically if the air supply stops.
Clamp Release
Applies 18 N of safe holding force to secure a light cardboard flap during taping. The single air line simplifies valve wiring.
Is the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SR the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore provides 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the Ø6 bore offers 10.6 N; for heavier tasks, the Ø12 bore yields 42.9 N. The internal spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before motion starts. Remember the thin Ø4 mm rod handles coaxial thrust only, so add an external guide for any off-axis loads.
When ordering, confirm the 10 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, S magnet option, and R axial inlet. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the last few millimeters, so meter-out the exhaust if moving heavy tooling mass. This cylinder lifts about 1.5 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 safety margin.
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 PSB10X10SR FAQ
The net push force is 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 required before the piston moves. The rod fails safe to the retracted position on air loss.
The S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic switches. Cushioning relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end. It only decelerates the last few millimeters, so for high speeds with real mass, add an external shock absorber.
