Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X30U
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X30U 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, 30mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X30U
The AirTAC PSBR16X30U is a single-acting push pen cylinder that extends via one M5x0.8 air port and retracts via an internal spring. It delivers 74.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, rising to 115 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. The return spring ensures the rod fails safe to the home position on air loss.
A DIRECT front-cover M5x0.8 thread allows straight bolt-on fixture mounting, while the SUS316L stainless barrel suits damp environments. The slim mini body saves space, and a fixed TPU bumper decelerates the stroke end. Plan for a safe working load of about 45 N, which accounts for seal friction and smooth travel.
Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X30U Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X30U |
|---|---|
| Series | PSBR JIS pen-size front-mount cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø16 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø5 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 PSBR16X30U Is Used
Part Ejector
Pushes machined parts off a conveyor line with 74.8 N net force, using the spring return to reset safely.
Panel Pusher
Extends to index lightweight panels on an assembly track, relying on the direct front mount for compact spacing.
Clamp Release
Actuates a holding clamp to release a workpiece, defaulting to a locked retract state during air loss.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X30U the Right Cylinder?
For lighter tasks, the Ø12 bore offers 42.9 N net push at 0.5 MPa, while this Ø16 model provides 74.8 N. If you need more force, note that Ø16 is the largest pen-size option in this series. The internal spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before the rod moves.
This version features a U 90-degree side inlet for flat plumbing and lacks a sensor magnet. The direct front-cover thread simplifies jig integration. Confirm your required stroke does not exceed the 100 mm limit for this bore.
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 PSBR16X30U 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 spring-return, 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 a front-cover M5x0.8 thread. The body features a SUS316L stainless barrel for damp environments, and this specific model uses a U 90-degree side air inlet for flat plumbing.
