Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X5R
The AirTAC Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X5R 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 PSB10X5R
The AirTAC PSB10X5R is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 5 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, needing only one solenoid line for simpler tubing. It yields 29.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa.
Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and slim body, it fits tight spaces and damp environments. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. For real-world planning, target a safe working load of about 18 N (roughly 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating) to account for seal friction. This equates to lifting about 1.5 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 margin.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X5R Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X5R |
|---|---|
| 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 PSB10X5R Is Used
Short-Stroke Part Ejection
Uses the 5 mm push to kick small machined components from a fixture. The spring-return fail-safe guarantees the ejector retracts clear if air supply fails.
Carton Flap Tucking
Deploys a brief 29.8 N push at 0.5 MPa to fold light cardboard flaps on a packaging line. The slim pen-size body mounts flush in narrow guide rails.
Sensor Actuation Gate
Shifts a lightweight diverter gate for part routing. One air line drives the push stroke, simplifying valve wiring while the spring holds the gate closed by default.
Is the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X5R the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore provides 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa (45.5 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum). If you need less force, the Ø6 bore offers 10.6 N; for heavier jobs, the Ø12 bore yields 42.9 N. The internal spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before motion begins. Keep the 5 mm stroke short and add an external guide for any off-axis loads, as the thin Ø4 mm rod handles coaxial thrust only.
Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, no magnet, R axial inlet, and required mounting bracket. The fixed TPU bumper handles light end-of-stroke damping, but meter-out the exhaust if moving real tooling mass at higher 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 PSB10X5R FAQ
The net push force is 29.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa (maximum pressure). Because the internal return spring opposes the air stroke, a minimum of 0.2 MPa is required before the rod moves. The spring fail-safe retracts the rod automatically upon air loss.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at the stroke ends to decelerate motion over the last few millimeters. This bumper is not adjustable. If operating at higher speeds with real tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber to prevent bottoming out.
