Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X45SCB
The AirTAC Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X45SCB is a single acting, push type (spring return) pen-size mini cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 45mm 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 PSB10X45SCB
The AirTAC PSB10X45SCB is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder equipped with a CB double clevis and a built-in piston magnet. Air entering the single M5x0.8 port extends the Ø4 mm rod, while an internal spring retracts it upon exhaust release. This fail-safe design ensures the rod returns home if air pressure drops. With a 45 mm stroke, it provides 29.8 N of net push force at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa.
The slim SUS304 stainless steel body fits easily into tight jigs and light end-of-arm tooling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end cushions the last few millimeters of travel. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 18 N, which is roughly 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating. This accounts for seal friction and smooth operation without overstressing the mechanics.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X45SCB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X45SCB |
|---|---|
| Series | PSB JIS pen-size mini cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 45 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 PSB10X45SCB Is Used
Pivoting Part Ejector
Uses the CB double clevis to swing and push finished metal parts off a machining center conveyor, relying on the spring to safely retract the pin during air loss.
Carton Flap Folder
Extends to fold lightweight cardboard flaps on a packaging line, with the single air line simplifying tubing and reducing valve costs on the machine.
Diverter Gate Actuator
Pushes a small routing gate to divert products on a conveyor belt, using the fail-safe retract to open the lane when the system is idle or shut down.
Is the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X45SCB the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore model yields 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. If your task requires less force, stepping down to a 6 mm bore gives 10.6 N. For heavier pushing, moving up to a 12 mm bore provides 42.9 N. The internal return spring sets a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa before motion begins. Because the CB double clevis allows pivoting, verify your mounting geometry allows free articulation.
The integrated -S magnet supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing. Keep in mind the thin Ø4 mm rod is built for coaxial thrust. Over this 45 mm stroke, add an external guide or linear bearing if the load exerts any off-axis side load. Confirm your order specifies the bore, stroke, magnet, CB clevis, and any mounting brackets.
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 PSB10X45SCB 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 operating pressure of 0.2 MPa is required to overcome the spring and extend the cylinder.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Cushioning is handled by a fixed TPU bumper that decelerates the rod over the last few millimeters; at high speeds with heavy tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.
