Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X100SR
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X100SR 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 Ø16mm bore, 100mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X100SR
The AirTAC PSBR16X100SR is a single-acting push, spring-return pen-size mini cylinder. Air entering the M5x0.8 port extends the rod, while an internal spring retracts it on air loss for fail-safe retraction. It delivers 74.8 N of net push force at 0.5 MPa and 115 N at 0.7 MPa.
The SUS316L stainless barrel suits damp environments, and the direct M5x0.8 front-cover mounting thread bolts straight to your fixture. The built-in magnet (-S) supports reed or electronic switches. Because the return spring sets a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure, plan for a safe working load of about 45 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) to account for seal friction.
Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X100SR Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X100SR |
|---|---|
| Series | PSBR JIS pen-size front-mount cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø16 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø5 mm |
| Stroke | 100 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 100 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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Net push force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 74.8 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 115.0 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 PSBR16X100SR Is Used
Vertical Part Lift
Lifts about 3.8 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 safety margin using the 74.8 N push at 0.5 MPa, returning safely via spring on air loss.
Part Ejector
Pushes lightweight components off a belt using the direct front-mount thread, with the axial R inlet keeping the footprint slim.
Panel Pusher
Extends 100 mm to index panels, relying on the fail-safe retract to pull the rod home and clear the workspace during an air drop.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X100SR the Right Cylinder?
This 16 mm bore model provides 74.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 12 mm bore drops the usable push to 42.9 N, while this 16 mm bore hits the 100 mm maximum single-acting stroke limit. The direct front-cover thread simplifies jig integration, and the R axial inlet keeps plumbing in-line.
The thin Ø5 mm piston rod handles coaxial thrust well, but over this 100 mm stroke you should add an external guide or linear bearing for any off-axis loads. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the last few millimeters, so meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber when cycling mid-speed tooling mass.
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 ≤ 100 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 PSBR16X100SR FAQ
It delivers 74.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa and 115 N at 0.7 MPa. The internal return spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before the rod moves, and the cylinder fails safe retracted on air loss.
It mounts directly via an M5x0.8 front-cover thread, separate from the M5x0.8 air port. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic switches, housed in a SUS316L stainless barrel.
