Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X10R
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X10R 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, 10mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X10R
The AirTAC PSBR16X10R is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 10 mm stroke. Air entering the M5x0.8 port extends the rod, while an internal spring retracts it on air release, ensuring a fail-safe retracted position. It supplies about 74.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, with a maximum capability of 115 N at 0.7 MPa.
This compact actuator features a SUS316L stainless barrel and a direct M5x0.8 front-cover mounting thread for straightforward fixture integration. The fixed TPU bumper decelerates the rod near the end of stroke. For smooth operation, plan for a safe working load of roughly 45 N, which accounts for seal friction and travel consistency.

|---|---|
| Series | PSBR JIS pen-size front-mount cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø16 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø5 mm |
| Stroke | 10 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 PSBR16X10R Is Used
Short-Stroke Part Ejector
Uses the 74.8 N net push to eject small machined components from a fixture, with the spring ensuring the ejector retracts safely when air is removed.
Panel Pusher
Direct M5x0.8 front-cover mounting bolts this slim pen cylinder directly to a frame to push lightweight panels into position along a conveyor line.
Clamp Release Mechanism
Applies axial force to release a secondary clamp, relying on the fail-safe retracted state to keep the clamp engaged during an unexpected air pressure drop.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X10R the Right Cylinder?
This 16 mm bore model provides 74.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. If your task requires less force, the 12 mm bore variant offers 42.9 N at the same pressure, while stepping up is not applicable as this is the largest available diameter. The direct M5x0.8 front-cover thread mounts straight to your jig, and the R axial inlet accommodates in-line plumbing.
The internal return spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before motion begins and guarantees the rod pulls home on air loss. The thin Ø5 mm rod is built for coaxial thrust, so over the 10 mm stroke or under off-axis loads, add an external guide to prevent side load. Confirm the front-mount thread engagement during installation.
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 PSBR16X10R FAQ
The net push force is 74.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 115 N at 0.7 MPa, with the return spring force already deducted. Because the spring sets a minimum resistance, a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa is required before the rod begins to move.
It mounts directly via an M5x0.8 thread integrated into the front cover, eliminating the need for a separate bracket. The barrel is constructed from SUS316L stainless steel, making the slim pen-size body suitable for damp or washdown environments.
