Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X30SU
The AirTAC Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X30SU is a single acting, push type (spring return) pen-size mini cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 30mm 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 PSB10X30SU
The AirTAC PSB10X30SU is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder, meaning air entering its single M5x0.8 port extends the rod while an internal spring retracts it. This fail-safe design ensures the rod pulls back home automatically if air pressure drops. It delivers 29.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, rising to 45.5 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum.
Equipped with a built-in magnet for position sensing, this SUS304 stainless steel unit uses a U-style 90-degree side inlet for flat plumbing. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. Because the return spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure, the cylinder only moves once that threshold is reached. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 18 N, which accounts for seal friction and smooth travel.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X30SU Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X30SU |
|---|---|
| Series | PSB JIS pen-size mini cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 PSB10X30SU Is Used
Part Ejection
Pushes finished metal stampings out of a press die. The spring-return design guarantees the ejector clears the mold safely if the compressed air supply suddenly fails.
Gate Diverter
Acts as a lightweight diverter arm on a packaging conveyor. The 90-degree side inlet keeps plumbing flat against the machine frame to save valuable space.
Clamp Release
Holds a woodworking jig in place during routing. Exhausting the single air line instantly retracts the rod via the internal spring to release the workpiece quickly.
Is the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X30SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore model against its neighbors, note the PSB6 provides 10.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger PSB12 offers 42.9 N at the same pressure. The PSB10X30SU hits a practical middle ground with its 29.8 N output. Always confirm your ordering essentials: bore, stroke, the S magnet option, the U side inlet, and your mounting bracket.
The internal spring dictates a fail-safe retracted position during any air loss, making it ideal for clamp-release duties. Keep in mind the thin Ø4 mm rod handles coaxial thrust well, but over long strokes or off-axis loads you should add an external guide or linear bearing to prevent side-load damage.
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 PSB10X30SU 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 operating pressure of 0.2 MPa is required before the piston moves.
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; since it only decelerates the last few mm, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber when cycling heavy tooling at mid-to-high speeds.
