Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60SR
The AirTAC Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60SR 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 PSB10X60SR
The AirTAC PSB10X60SR is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder featuring a 10 mm bore and a 60 mm stroke. Air entering the single M5x0.8 port extends the Ø4 mm rod, while an internal spring ensures fail-safe retraction upon air loss. Because the spring counteracts the air stroke, this model yields a usable 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing with reed or electronic switches, it also includes an R axial inlet for streamlined plumbing. The SUS304 stainless barrel and slim body fit tight jigs. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 18 N (roughly 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating) to account for seal friction and smooth travel.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60SR Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60SR |
|---|---|
| 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 PSB10X60SR Is Used
Part Ejection
Pushes lightweight plastic molded parts off a conveyor belt, using the spring-return to safely retract the ejector pin when the air supply stops.
Flap Folding
Extends to fold cardboard flaps on a packaging line, with the single air line simplifying valve wiring and the compact body fitting between guide rails.
Clamp Release
Acts as a fail-safe clamp release on a small fixture, holding the rod retracted by default and extending only when actuated to free the workpiece.
Is the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60SR the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore provides 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. If your task needs less force, stepping down to a 6 mm bore yields 10.6 N; moving up to a 12 mm bore provides 42.9 N. The internal spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure before motion begins, and the rod safely springs back to its home position if air pressure drops.
At the maximum 60 mm stroke, the slender Ø4 mm rod requires an external guide or linear bearing to prevent side-loading damage. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, S magnet, R axial back cover, and your preferred mounting bracket.
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 PSB10X60SR FAQ
The net push force is 29.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The internal return spring requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to extend the rod, and the cylinder fails safe to the retracted position on air loss.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper to decelerate the stroke over the last few millimeters; at higher speeds with heavy tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber. The built-in -S magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing.
