Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60R
The AirTAC Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60R is a single acting, push type (spring return) pen-size mini cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 60mm 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 PSB10X60R
The AirTAC PSB10X60R is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 60 mm stroke. Air entering the M5x0.8 port extends the Ø4 mm rod, while an internal spring ensures fail-safe retraction upon air loss. This design requires only one solenoid line, simplifying tubing and reducing valving costs. It delivers 29.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa.
Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and slim body, it fits tight jigs and light end-of-arm tooling. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. Because the return spring opposes extension, a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa is required before motion begins. Plan for a safe working load of about 18 N, which accounts for seal friction at 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60R Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60R |
|---|---|
| Series | PSB JIS pen-size mini cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 PSB10X60R Is Used
Part Ejection
Pushes finished aluminum parts out of a CNC machining center. The fail-safe spring retract keeps the ejector clear of the work area during air loss.
Gate Diverter
Acts as a sorting gate on a packaging conveyor. The single air line simplifies wiring while the spring holds the gate closed by default.
Clamp Release
Applies 29.8 N of push force to hold a light plastic housing during assembly. The rod retracts automatically when air is removed.
Is the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60R the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore provides 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the Ø6 bore offers 10.6 N; for heavier tasks, the Ø12 bore yields 42.9 N. Remember the spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure to move the rod, and the fail-safe home position is fully retracted. At 60 mm stroke, the slender Ø4 mm rod needs an external guide or linear bearing to prevent off-axis side loads.
Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, no magnet, R axial inlet, and your preferred mounting bracket. The fixed TPU bumper handles light loads, 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 PSB10X60R FAQ
The net push force is 29.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa. Because the internal spring opposes the air stroke, a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa is required before the rod moves. The spring ensures the rod fails safe in the retracted position.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke over the last few millimeters. It is not an adjustable shock absorber. When moving real tooling mass at mid to high speeds, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber to prevent bottoming out.
