Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SU
The AirTAC Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SU 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 PSB10X10SU
The AirTAC PSB10X10SU is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder. Air entering the M5x0.8 port extends the Ø4 mm rod, while an internal spring retracts it upon exhaust. This fail-safe design keeps the rod retracted if air pressure drops, making it ideal for clamp-release and ejection tasks. It delivers 29.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa.
The slim SUS304 stainless body fits tight jigs and light end-of-arm tooling. The U suffix denotes a 90-degree side air inlet for flat plumbing, and the S suffix adds a piston magnet for position sensing. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. 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 PSB10X10SU Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SU |
|---|---|
| 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 PSB10X10SU Is Used
Part Ejection
Pushes finished metal stamps out of a press die. The spring-return design ensures the ejector clears the mold safely when air is lost.
Gate Diverter
Acts as a sorting gate on a packaging line. The 90-degree side inlet keeps plumbing flat against the conveyor frame to save space.
Clamp Release
Holds a wooden workpiece during routing. Air extends the rod to lock the part, and the spring retracts it instantly upon exhaust.
Is the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X10SU the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore provides 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 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 requires a minimum 0.2 MPa to move the rod. With a 2:1 safety margin, this model lifts about 1.5 kg vertically.
The Ø4 mm rod is built for coaxial thrust, so add an external guide for off-axis loads. When ordering, confirm the 10 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, S magnet, U side inlet, and your mounting bracket. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the last few millimeters, so meter-out the exhaust or add a shock absorber when moving real tooling mass at mid to high speeds.
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 PSB10X10SU FAQ
It delivers 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa. Because the internal spring opposes the air stroke, a minimum of 0.2 MPa is required before the rod moves. The rod fails safe to the retracted position on air loss.
Yes. The S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet. It works with AirTAC reed or electronic solid-state switches for position confirmation. The cylinder uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end rather than an adjustable cushion.
