Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60R
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60R 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, 60mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60R
The AirTAC PSBR16X60R is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 16mm bore and 60mm 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 during pressure loss. It supplies 74.8N of net push at 0.5MPa and 115N at 0.7MPa.
This model features a SUS316L stainless barrel and a slim profile for tight spaces. The direct M5x0.8 front-cover mounting thread secures straight to your fixture, and the R axial inlet keeps plumbing in-line. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the rod at stroke ends, though you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber when cycling heavy tooling at mid-to-high speeds.
Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60R Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60R |
|---|---|
| Series | PSBR JIS pen-size front-mount cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø16 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø5 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 PSBR16X60R Is Used
Part Ejector
Uses the fail-safe spring return to push finished parts off a machining fixture, retracting automatically when air pressure drops.
Panel Pusher
Bolts directly via the M5x0.8 front-cover thread to push lightweight electronic panels into alignment slots within compact assembly jigs.
Clamp Release
Applies 74.8N of net push at 0.5MPa to disengage a holding clamp, relying on the spring to securely reset the mechanism on air loss.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60R the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 16mm bore provides 74.8N net push at 0.5MPa. Sizing down, the 12mm bore yields 42.9N at the same pressure, while this 16mm unit is the largest available in the series. Plan for a safe working load of about 45N (roughly 60% of the 0.5MPa figure) to account for seal friction and smooth travel.
The internal return spring sets a 0.2MPa minimum pressure before motion begins. The direct M5x0.8 front-mount thread bolts directly to your jig, and the R axial inlet accommodates in-line plumbing. The Ø5mm rod handles coaxial thrust well, but over this 60mm stroke or with off-axis loads, add an external linear bearing to prevent side-load wear.
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 PSBR16X60R FAQ
The net push force is 74.8N at 0.5MPa and 115N at 0.7MPa (maximum pressure). Because it is single-acting push with a return spring, it requires a minimum of 0.2MPa to overcome the spring and extend the rod.
It mounts directly via an M5x0.8 thread on the front cover, eliminating separate brackets. This specific R variant uses an axial air inlet for in-line plumbing, and the SUS316L stainless barrel suits damp or corrosive environments.
