Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60SU
The AirTAC Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60SU 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 PSB10X60SU
The AirTAC PSB10X60SU is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder, meaning air entering one M5x0.8 port extends the rod while an internal spring retracts it on exhaust. This fail-safe design ensures the rod returns home if air pressure drops. With a 10 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, it provides 29.8 N of net push force at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa.
The built-in magnet (-S) supports reed or electronic switches for position sensing, while the U back cover offers a 90-degree side inlet for flat plumbing. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. Because the internal spring counteracts the air stroke, a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa is required before motion begins.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60SU Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60SU |
|---|---|
| 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 PSB10X60SU Is Used
Part Ejector
Pushes lightweight stamped parts off a conveyor line; the spring-return retract ensures the ejector clears the workspace safely during an air loss event.
Clamp Release
Applies 29.8 N of holding push at 0.5 MPa to secure a small jig component, automatically releasing the part when the single solenoid line exhausts.
Flap Folder
Extends to fold carton flaps on a packaging line, with the 90-degree side inlet keeping the pneumatic plumbing flush against the machine frame.
Is the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60SU the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore model yields 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 6 mm bore drops the output to 10.6 N, whereas moving up to a 12 mm bore increases it to 42.9 N. Plan for a safe working load of about 18 N, which is roughly 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating, to account for seal friction.
The slender Ø4 mm rod handles coaxial thrust well, but over this 60 mm stroke you should add an external guide or linear bearing to prevent side-loading damage. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the last few millimeters; at higher speeds with real tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber. Verify your ordering code covers the S magnet, U side inlet, and required 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 PSB10X60SU 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 pressure of 0.2 MPa is required to overcome the spring and move the piston.
It includes a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, though external shock absorption may be needed for heavy masses. The built-in magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for precise position sensing.
