Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X10SR
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X10SR 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 PSBR16X10SR
The AirTAC PSBR16X10SR 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 loss for fail-safe operation. It supplies 74.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 115 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum.
This direct front-mount mini cylinder bolts straight to your fixture via its M5x0.8 front-cover thread, saving space in tight jigs. The SUS316L stainless barrel suits damp environments, and the built-in magnet (-S) works with reed or electronic switches. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the rod at stroke ends, though external meter-out is advised for heavier tooling.
Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X10SR Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X10SR |
|---|---|
| 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 PSBR16X10SR Is Used
Short-Stroke Part Ejector
Uses the 10 mm stroke to kick small machined parts out of a lathe collet, relying on the spring to safely retract the pin when air is cut.
Panel Push-off Station
Mounts via the front-cover thread to push thin electronic panels from a test rack, with the SUS316L barrel resisting coolant mist.
Fail-Safe Clamp Release
Applies 74.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa to hold a workpiece, automatically releasing the clamp if compressed air pressure drops.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X10SR the Right Cylinder?
For this 16 mm bore, the net push is 74.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 115 N at 0.7 MPa. Plan for a safe working load of about 45 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure) to account for seal friction. Vertically, it lifts about 3.8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If you need less force, the 12 mm bore yields 42.9 N at 0.5 MPa; since 16 mm is the largest in this series, moving up requires a different body style.
The direct M5x0.8 front-cover thread mounts without extra brackets, and the R axial inlet keeps plumbing in-line. The thin Ø5 mm rod handles coaxial thrust well but needs an external guide for off-axis loads. The internal spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before motion begins.
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 PSBR16X10SR FAQ
The net push force is 74.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 115 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. Because it is single-acting push with a return spring, it requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring and move the rod.
It mounts directly via its M5x0.8 front-cover thread, eliminating separate brackets. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing.
