Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR10X40SR
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR10X40SR is a single acting, push type (spring return) pen-size mini cylinder with direct front-cover mounting (M4×0.7 thread). A single air port drives the push stroke on a Ø10mm bore, 40mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR10X40SR
The AirTAC PSBR10X40SR is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 10 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. Air entering the M5x0.8 port extends the rod, while an internal spring retracts it automatically. This fail-safe design ensures the rod returns home on air loss. It supplies 29.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa.
The body features a SUS316L stainless barrel and a slim profile for tight jigs. You mount it directly via the front-cover M4x0.7 thread, eliminating extra brackets. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. The built-in -S magnet supports reed or electronic switches for position sensing. Plan for a safe working load of about 18 N, which is roughly 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating.

|---|---|
| Series | PSBR JIS pen-size front-mount cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 40 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, push type (spring return) |
| Front-mount thread | M4×0.7 |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
|---|---|
| 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. Front cover carries the mounting thread (M4×0.7); barrel is SUS316L. Forces below are NET spring-deducted values. Confirm against the product label.
Net Push Force (Ø10mm)
| Pressure | Net push force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 29.8 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 45.5 N |
These are usable push forces after the return spring is subtracted, 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 PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR10X40SR Is Used
Part Ejector
Pushes finished parts off a conveyor line with 29.8 N net force at 0.5 MPa, retracting safely when air stops.
Panel Pusher
Uses the direct M4x0.7 front-mount thread to secure inside a tight jig, extending 40 mm to index panels.
Clamp Release
Overcomes spring tension to open a holding clamp, relying on the fail-safe retract to reset the mechanism.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR10X40SR the Right Cylinder?
For this 10 mm bore, the 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa handles light ejecting tasks. If you need less force, the 8 mm bore version offers 18.7 N. For heavier jobs, the 12 mm bore provides 42.9 N. This PSBR10X40SR uses a 40 mm stroke, safely under the 60 mm single-acting limit.
The direct M4x0.7 front-cover thread bolts straight to your fixture. The internal spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before motion begins. The R axial inlet keeps plumbing in-line. Remember the thin 4 mm rod is for coaxial thrust; add an external guide for off-axis loads.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net push force at your working pressure
- ✓ Bolt directly through the front cover (M4×0.7)
- ✓ Only one air line / solenoid needed
- ✓ Fail-safe retract on air loss
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Stroke ≤ 60 mm (single-acting limit)
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 Match bolt size and engagement to the front thread.
- check Do not add an external return mechanism.
- check Keep the load coaxial; avoid side load on the thin rod.
Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR10X40SR FAQ
The net push force is 29.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. The internal return spring requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa before the rod extends, and the cylinder fails safely retracted on air loss.
It mounts directly via the front-cover M4x0.7 thread. The SUS316L stainless barrel resists damp environments. The included -S magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position confirmation.
