Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X15U
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X15U 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, 15mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X15U
The AirTAC PSBR16X15U is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 16mm bore and 15mm stroke. Air entering the M5x0.8 port extends the rod, while an internal spring ensures fail-safe retraction upon air loss. It supplies 74.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 115 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum, with the return spring force already deducted.
This model features a direct M5x0.8 front-cover mounting thread for secure fixture attachment and a U-type 90-degree side air inlet for flat plumbing. The SUS316L stainless barrel resists corrosion in damp environments. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends.

|---|---|
| Series | PSBR JIS pen-size front-mount cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø16 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø5 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 PSBR16X15U Is Used
Part Ejector
Pushes finished parts off an assembly fixture using 74.8 N net force, with the spring automatically withdrawing the rod to clear the workspace.
Panel Pusher
Extends 15mm to index lightweight panels into a machining cell, utilizing the direct front-mount thread for compact vertical bolting.
Clamp Release
Overcomes a mechanical clamp spring to release a workpiece, relying on fail-safe retraction to secure the clamp when air pressure drops.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X15U the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 16mm bore provides the highest net push in the PSBR family, stepping up from the 12mm bore which yields 42.9 N at 0.5 MPa. This makes the PSBR16X15U ideal when the smaller variant lacks thrust. Since this is the largest available size, applications requiring even more force must move to a different cylinder series entirely.
The spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before motion begins. The direct front-cover thread simplifies jig integration, while the fail-safe retracted holding position adds safety. Confirm your M5x0.8 mounting engagement and 90-degree side inlet plumbing before ordering.
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 PSBR16X15U FAQ
The net push force is 74.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 115 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. The internal return spring requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa before the rod begins to move, and the cylinder fails safely retracted on air loss.
It mounts directly via an M5x0.8 thread on the front cover, eliminating separate brackets. The slim pen-size body features a SUS316L stainless barrel for damp environments, and this specific model lacks a sensor magnet.
