Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X10SU
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X10SU 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 PSBR16X10SU
The AirTAC PSBR16X10SU is a single-acting push pen cylinder that generates 74.8 N of net push force at 0.5 MPa. A return spring brings the rod home safely when air pressure drops. You bolt it straight to your jig via the direct M5x0.8 front-cover thread, saving space.
This 16 mm bore unit features a SUS316L stainless barrel and a built-in magnet for position sensing. Air enters the M5x0.8 port to extend the rod, while a fixed TPU bumper decelerates the stroke. Plan for a safe working load of about 45 N, which is roughly 60 percent of the rated force, to account for seal friction.
Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X10SU Technical Specifications

|---|---|
| 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 PSBR16X10SU Is Used
Part Ejector
Pushes finished parts off a conveyor line with reliable force, using the spring return to reset instantly.
Panel Pusher
Extends to index thin panels into a machining cell, saving space with a direct front-cover thread mount.
Clamp Release
Overcomes spring tension to release a holding clamp, defaulting safely to a locked state on air loss.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X10SU the Right Cylinder?
This 16 mm bore model yields 74.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa, offering the highest thrust in the series. If your task requires less force, the 12 mm bore provides 42.9 N at the same pressure. The direct front-cover thread mounts easily, and the U option provides a 90-degree side inlet for flat plumbing.
Remember the internal spring sets a minimum pressure of 0.2 MPa before motion begins. The thin 5 mm rod handles coaxial thrust well, but you should add an external guide for any off-axis loads. This configuration includes the S magnet and U side inlet.
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 PSBR16X10SU FAQ
The net push force is 74.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 115 N at 0.7 MPa. Because a return spring is built in, a minimum pressure of 0.2 MPa is required before the rod moves, and the cylinder fails safe to the retracted position on air loss.
It mounts directly via an M5x0.8 thread on the front cover. The SUS316L stainless barrel resists corrosion, and the built-in magnet works with reed or electronic switches. The U designation indicates a 90-degree side air inlet.
