Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X5CB
The AirTAC Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X5CB is a single acting, push type (spring return) pen-size mini cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 5mm 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 PSB10X5CB
The AirTAC PSB10X5CB is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 10 mm bore and 5 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 reducing valving costs. The fail-safe spring ensures the rod returns home if air pressure drops.
It delivers 29.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with the return spring force already deducted. The CB double clevis back cover accommodates pivoting loads, and the SUS304 stainless barrel suits damp or tight jigs. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 18 N, accounting for friction and smooth travel.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X5CB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X5CB |
|---|---|
| Series | PSB JIS pen-size mini cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 5 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 PSB10X5CB Is Used
Pivoting Part Ejector
Uses the CB double clevis to swing and push completed aluminum parts off a CNC fixture, relying on the fail-safe spring retract to clear the area on air loss.
Carton Flap Folder
Extends briefly to tuck small cardboard flaps during case erecting, with the single air line keeping pneumatic wiring minimal on the packaging head.
Diverter Gate Actuator
Pushes a lightweight routing gate to redirect small plastic bottles on a conveyor, safely retracting the barrier when the system vents.
Is the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X5CB the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore provides 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. If your task needs less force, the Ø6 bore offers 10.6 N; for heavier pushing, the Ø12 bore yields 42.9 N. The internal spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before motion begins. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, CB double clevis, and no magnet.
The slim Ø4 mm rod handles coaxial thrust well, but avoid side loads. Over long strokes or off-axis pushing, add an external guide or linear bearing. The fixed TPU bumper decelerates the final few millimeters; at higher speeds with real tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or use 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 PSB10X5CB 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 opposes the air stroke, a minimum pressure of 0.2 MPa is required before the rod moves. The spring also 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 CB back cover provides a double clevis for pivoting applications. At high speeds with heavy tooling, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber, as the bumper only covers the last few millimeters.
