Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR12X60SR
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR12X60SR is a single acting, push type (spring return) pen-size mini cylinder with direct front-cover mounting (M5×0.8 thread). A single air port drives the push stroke on a Ø12mm bore, 60mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR12X60SR
The AirTAC PSBR12X60SR is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 60mm stroke. Air entering the M5x0.8 port extends the rod, while an internal spring retracts it on air release. This fail-safe design keeps the rod retracted during pressure loss, requiring only one solenoid line. It provides 42.9 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 65.5 N at 0.7 MPa.
You mount this cylinder directly via its front-cover M5x0.8 thread, saving space in tight jigs. The SUS316L stainless barrel and slim body suit light end-of-arm tooling. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the rod at stroke ends. Because the return spring sets a minimum pressure of 0.2 MPa, plan for a safe working load of about 26 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) to account for seal friction. This equates to lifting about 2.2 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR12X60SR Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR12X60SR |
|---|---|
| Series | PSBR JIS pen-size front-mount cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø12 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø5 mm |
| Stroke | 60 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, push type (spring return) |
| Front-mount thread | M5×0.8 |
| 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 75 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 (M5×0.8); barrel is SUS316L. Forces below are NET spring-deducted values. Confirm against the product label.
Net Push Force (Ø12mm)
| Pressure | Net push force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 42.9 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 65.5 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 PSBR12X60SR Is Used
Panel Pusher
Extends to push a light panel into a machining nest, with the internal spring safely pulling the rod back when air drops.
Part Ejector
Uses the 42.9 N net push at 0.5 MPa to kick completed parts off a conveyor line before retracting into a compact footprint.
Clamp Release
Mounts directly via the front M5x0.8 thread to release a secondary clamp, saving space in dense tooling arrays.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR12X60SR the Right Cylinder?
This 12mm bore, 60mm stroke model sits near the single-acting limit of 75mm. Stepping down to a 10mm bore yields 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 16mm bore offers 74.8 N. Choose the PSBR12X60SR when your fixture needs moderate push force and fail-safe spring retraction. The direct front-cover M5x0.8 thread bolts straight to your bracket, and the R axial inlet allows inline plumbing.
The built-in magnet (-S) supports reed or electronic switches for position sensing. Remember the thin Ø5 mm rod handles coaxial thrust well but requires an external guide for off-axis loads over this 60mm stroke. Confirm your air line filters to 40 um and verify the M5x0.8 port matches your fittings.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net push force at your working pressure
- ✓ Bolt directly through the front cover (M5×0.8)
- ✓ Only one air line / solenoid needed
- ✓ Fail-safe retract on air loss
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Stroke ≤ 75 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 PSBR12X60SR FAQ
It delivers 42.9 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 65.5 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. Because it is single-acting push with a return spring, it requires a minimum pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring before the rod moves, and it fails safe to the retracted position on air loss.
It mounts directly via a front-cover M5x0.8 thread, eliminating separate brackets. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic solid-state switches. The SUS316L stainless barrel provides durability in tight, lightweight jigs.
